Could be for many reasons. Many cat's enjoy the rough surface against their bodies, just as a wild boar will scratch its back against a tree. Another explanation could depend on how close you are with your cats. Do they love you? If so, do you smell like poop? If your cat's are fond of you, perhaps they enjoy the smell of poop and therefor play in their litter box to remind themselves of you. --------------------- They don't. It's an protective instinct to cover up their feises so other predators can't smell it, and so that other predators won't find their "hideout" and attack them. If the litterbox is cept clean they don't have to digg so much, oterwise they digg in it even if they don't have to poo or pee, to hide whats in it. Ceep it clean and you´ll see.

How do you potty train an adult cat?

Potty training my cats were very simple. All I did was get a litter box put in my bathroom and filled it with litter and then just put the cat in the litter box and they just knew what to do and now they where to go to do their business. It also a good idea if you have multiple cats to have more than one litter box if they are inside cats. another problem is if you have a door on your litter box I'd recommend taking that off for a couple days to get them used to the litter box first. Now if you have outside cats you don't have to worry about any of this. Another thing is it might be to dark for them so maybe leave the light on.
