Unraveling the Mysteries of Strange Cat Behaviors

Concealing Droppings

One peculiar behavior of felines is their inclination to hide their droppings in sand or foliage. Although it may create an unhygienic game of "find the treasure," each dropping carries a distinct scent that identifies the cat responsible for it.

This behavior is not advantageous if a cat is attempting to evade predators. By concealing their droppings, they eliminate the scent marker and ensure the safety of your furry friend! Even though modern house cats don't have to worry about predators, the instinct to dispose of their droppings without a trace persists.
