Is Your Cat Plotting World Domination? Decoding Feline Weirdness
Why Cats Hide Their Feces
Cats have a curious habit of instinctively hiding their feces after using the litter box or doing their business outdoors. This behavior refers to their wild ancestors, who buried their waste to mask their scent from predators and rival felines. By covering up, they ensure their territory remains undetected, making them feel safer.
This act can also serve as a form of communication with other cats. Dominant kitties might leave their waste uncovered to mark territory, while more submissive ones bury theirs to avoid confrontation. Interestingly, animals like dogs, rabbits, and some big felines also engage in this behavior for similar reasons.
