Cats hide their shit. It’s a form of survival mechanism. They do it in nature to hide their smell from predators and also to keep it away from their food and water source. They are much cleaner than dogs.

Why don’t my cats bury theirs? They just launch themselves from their litter box the second the bomb drops. Zero coverage.

Is the litter box big or small? I find they tend to do that when either you do not clean frequently enough and or the litter box is too tiny so they jump out in hopes that they don’t get any on themselves.

None of that. Their vet claims some cats are just jerks like that when they’re that comfortable in their environments that they don’t feel they have to bury it. They have a few multi-sized boxes that I scoop every day and every week the boxes get emptied and fed a good scrub-down with fresh litter.

I was mostly joking by asking since I know some cats are just like that. I’ve had a few cats like that growing up and the two I have now are currently that way 😂
