Understanding Waste Burial
Cats are often considered more hygienic regarding their potty habits than dogs. They have the instinct to bury their waste in the litter box, which is also observed in undomesticated cats who hide their garbage with dirt.
In the wild, cats bury their waste to avoid attracting predators and to blend in with the scent of other cats in the area. If your cat doesn’t bury their waste, it could be a sign of illness, anxiety or an aversion to the litter box.
