I don't know if this issue has been addressed before, but I did a quick search and didn't see anything, so here goes.........

Why do some cats not cover their poo after they place a deposit in the box? My son's cats are infamous for this - or at least one of them is since I've never witnessed it happening - and only smell the raunchy results of their haste to leave the scene. Sheesh - I'd be in a hurry too if I smelled that bad! It doesn't happen all of the time, but more often than not. The box is kept clean, so they can't blame it on being a dirty potty and they are in a hurry to get in, do what's needed, and then get out.

I had cats for years and rarely had any problem like this. Any ideas on why they do this, and any way to correct it? It is definitely not a pleasant experience to be cooking in the kitchen, and then get a whiff of that aroma wafting all the way from the other end of the house. YUK!!!
