The cat won't bury the poop, what's the situation?

If we have cats, we want to keep them clean.

After all, compared to dogs, it is much easier.

Not only does it not need to take it out for a walk every day, but it also buries its own poop.

Unlike a dog, when you're done pulling it, you just throw the poo where you want it to be, and act like a hands-off shopkeeper.

But in some cases, cats will also not bury their poop, so let's talk about it today.

-1 In case the cat is sick

Veterinarian Xiao Ming's cat once had a case of not burying poop.

That's when it was 4 months old with cat plague.

At that time, I hadn't been sent to the hospital for examination, and I found that the kitten was no longer buried, so I knew that the situation should be quite serious.

Because cats always love cleanliness, if they don't even bury their feces, it means that they are very uncomfortable and have no strength to bury their stools.

Therefore, the shoveling officer should combine the physical condition of the cat to see if the cat does not bury the feces because of illness.

-2 The cat litter box is not clean

A careful shovel officer will find that every time the cat finishes burying the poop, they will wipe their paws on the litter box.

Because they think that the claws that have just buried the poo are not clean, and they are afraid of getting feces.

And when the cat litter box is not clean, and it is full of cat poop and urine, they will not be buried after going to the toilet.

"No way to start!" the cat thought to himself.

-3 Confirm your status

This usually occurs in multi-cat households.

Cats with high family status sometimes do not bury their feces after defecation.

Because they want to claim sovereignty with the smell of their own urine. Tell other cats that this site is mine and no one is allowed to move it.

-4 is at ease with the surrounding environment

Cats bury their poop because they want to hide their scent.

In the past, when they lived in the wild, in order to avoid the enemy's tracking, they would use buried poop to hide their whereabouts.

And after they were adopted by the shit shovel officer, they became familiar with the surrounding environment, and after they felt very relieved and safe, they might not want to bury shit.

Just like a cat with a sense of security will sleep casually at home, a reason.

If the shovel officer wants to solve the phenomenon of cats not burying feces, he must first find out the reason.

Is there a problem with their physical health, or is it caused by an unclean cat litter box.

All in all, if some cats behave abnormally, there is a high probability that there may be problems with their health.

Therefore, as owners, we should pay more attention to the usual behavior of pets. Maybe sometimes, it is just hinting you and sending you signals!
