I have worked with feral cats (these are cats who have been born outside and lived on the streets their whole lives - never been pets), and every one of them will cover his or her leftover food. I believe that it is an instinct that comes from the need to hide their food from other animals - both because another animal may eat it, and also because the other animal would then know where the cat lived.
Most do, a few don't.
Mostly just cats that I am aware of.

Cats instinctively bury their waste to hide their scent from predators in the wild. However, some cats may not cover their poop if they were not properly taught or if they have a medical issue affecting their behavior.
Give the child more time to become accustomed to the potty. Try a reward system (something small like a cookie or cracker) for peeing in the potty and explain that the same works for poop in the potty, too, but not for poop in the diaper. Maybe after a while if they poop in their nappy give them a time out for not doing what they are supposed to do.
Cats may struggle to cover their poop in the litter box due to various reasons such as discomfort, health issues, or simply not being taught proper litter box etiquette.

Cats may not cover their poop due to various reasons such as health issues, dislike of the litter box, or territorial behavior. It is important to observe your cat's behavior and consult with a veterinarian if necessary.

To encourage your child to successfully poop on the potty, you can create a positive and supportive environment by praising and rewarding them when they use the potty for pooping. You can also establish a routine and schedule for potty breaks, provide a comfortable and child-friendly potty chair, and be patient and understanding throughout the process. Additionally, it may be helpful to involve your child in the process and make it a fun and engaging experience.
