Why Do Cats Bury Their Poop?
Burying your own poop may sound like an odd thing to do, but if you’re a cat and don’t do this, there’s something wrong with you. Scientists have suggested that this strange act is tied to submission and precautionary measures.
Out in the wild, predators with sharp noses can easily pick up the scent of cats’ urine and feces. As a result, smaller cats that are more submissive often bury their poop in order to erase their tracks from more dominant animals.
