He is not scratching...he is covering up his poop or pee!

Cats do this to cover the scent of their urine and feces so that predators will not be able to find them easily.

All cats cover their poop. It's just an instinct that had carried on from their ancestors. Back then, cats still covered their poop to cover their scent, so predators couldn't track them. Hope this helps! ~Peyton

Cats scratch their body a lot because it itches. It itches probably from a flea biting at their skin. Or just like you and me, the hair on our arms make our arms scratch, same goes for cats and their hair on their body.

Cats scratch their claws for the same reason that we file our nails. They scratch their claws so that they won't grow to long.

Because they have ran out of places to scratch so they move on to scratch their poo.

How can you train cats not to scratch?

Cats have to scratch for their claws to stay healthy. Introduce them to a cat scratching post. Place the cat's feet on it as you hold the cat in an upright position and rub the feet on the post. Sometimes placing a toy or the scent of cat nip on the post will intice them more. Continue to encourage the cat to use the post. Eventually, it should get the hint.You don't want the cat to never have something to scratch. Their claws could become abnormally long or twisted and cause them and you problems. If your cat has a particular place he/she likes to scratch, then you could place the post in front of it and after a week or 2 put the post a little bit away from the spot. Continue that and eventually your cat will seek out the post on its own.
