Best Answer

A cat will sometimes try to bury any leftover food in order to save it for later. In the wild, a cat would probably bury prey in order to return to it later and to hide it from other predators.

Cats bury their feces because they are clean, discreet animals.

I have heard that they do it out of respect for superior animals....humans...they don't want their scent to dominate....

they do, but in a litter box, there isn't enough room to cover it all unless you change it every time your cat goes to the bathroom.

Why are outside cats thinner than inside cats?

It's because of the food they eat. Inside cats are fed cat food, and cat food usually makes a cat gain more weight because some of the cat food ingredients. Now, a outside cat doesn't eat cat food. A outside cat eats stuff like mice and birds. Mice and birds don't have the ingredients cat food does. And outside cats have to hunt the mice and birds, and sometimes the cats don't catch the mice or birds. Sometimes it catches somthing sucessfully and sometimes it doesn't.
