You might try spraying an enzyme cleaner like Nature's Miracle on the walls and floor.
Enzyme cleaners are typically best at breaking down organic odors/messes, which I assume yours is.
It could be some sensitivity in the paws that is making digging uncomfortable but not necessarily painful. It could also be a urinary issue.
You said you have had your kitty for 3 years, has he ever used the litter box? Sometimes after declawing they use a different type of litter to help keep particles from getting stuck in the wounds. If he has never used the litter box it could also be a recognition problem. The type of litter they use after being declawed is usually a natural fiber of some sort that is largish pellets (relative to other litter).
If this is a new behavior I would recommend a vet to look at urinary issues or the paw health of your kitty. If this has been constant you might have to retrain him to use a litter box.
To retrain them you will need to keep a close eye on him for a few weeks. It works best if you can isolate them to a single room for a bit but if you have a small place then you will just have to keep a close eye. Remove anything that he has previously used to eliminate on and clean it with an enzymatic cleaner (don't replace it until after the training is over). Put the litter box where you will normally keep it (or in the room with the cat) and help encourage them to go there when you see them getting ready to go (usually cats go after playing or after eating but each is a little different). If they poop or urinate outside of the box, clean it immediately with the cleaner. It also helps if you can leave a little poo in the box to help them properly associate it with where to eliminate.
I would still strongly suggest talking to your vet, if you haven't already, before you start retraining. Even if this has been a long time thing you will still want to make sure all is healthy for the training.
I just had another thought though.. I wonder if the previous owner had one of those "potty patch" things. It's like a fake grass mat that is made for training and sometimes as a "potty" for dogs (and possibly cats) when they can't go outside or be walked frequently. They do sort of resemble a green fuzzy carpet patch.
Sadly, normal household cleaning products don't work. Dogs have much more sensitive noses than us, and will still be able to smell the scent (i.e. enzymes) of their urine through whatever household product you use. What you need a dog specific product like this since it's formulated not to mask the smell but to chemically remove it.
Nature's Miracle
It may require more than one treatment, but it will eliminate the odor.
>MOre importantly, what is the best way to train him to always go to the pee pads?
Crate train the dog.
Good luck.
