Poop smells.

Small non communal prey animals want to bury it so predators don't find them.

Ambush predators like cats want to bury it so prey doesn't smell it.

Herd prey don't hide it because they're not hiding from anyone. And pack hunters like wolves don't for the same reason.

So modern cats want to hide it instinctually. Their urine as well because just the tiniest hint of cat piss is enough for mice to flee a property.

Meanwhile, my dog: it's raining outside so I guess I'll just take a shit on the deck.

Also, I'm going to bury it. Yes I know previous poster said us pack animals don't do that but who gives a shit I am not part of your system. I also know this deck is built out of solid wood planks so of course I am not actually burying anything, I'm just scratching up your deck really badly. But this I will do and nothing can stop me.
