If a cat does not bury it after peeing, it may be that it was affected by external influences when burying the cat litter. For example, when it heard a loud noise or someone suddenly passed by, the cat was surprised and ran away, so it did not have time to bury the litter. Secondly, it may be that the cat has been pampered by the pet owner and feels that the environment at home is very safe, and has lost the awareness of self-protection, so it will no longer bury its excrement. This is normal and the owner does not need to worry too much.

Most cats are timid. If they are frightened or stimulated when burying cat litter, they may be frightened and run away in a hurry, resulting in The urine is not well buried. Therefore, if the cat only occasionally urinates without burying it, it may be influenced by the outside world, and the owner does not need to worry too much.

2. Lost the awareness of self-protection

Cats bury their excrement mainly to cover up their own smell and avoid being attacked by other animals. It is an instinct of self-protection. However, due to the careful raising of their owners, today's pet cats will feel that the home environment is very safe, and gradually lose the self-protective behavior of burying urine, and no longer deal with their own excrement. This is also normal.
