Oy Vey, I hear ya on that one. Our Mia does the same thing. She came from a shelter, we adopted her at 3. I swear, there was at least 200 other cats there that knew how to cover poo with litter. Ya think she would have picked that up, no. She on the other hand, leaps out and scratches the WALL, like forever. If I'm home, or awake, I congradulate her and tell her how great she is. Still reeks! Oh well, she's never covered her pooh. I figure as long as she goes in the litter box, all is fine. She is a very smart girl and excells in every other area! Spicemiester on the other hand, came with our house feral and took to the litter box and covered from day one. I think it depends on the age of the cat and the history. Some cats are eccentric and we will never get their number, unless it is a health problem, which cuz of the smell it may be. If it is an old cat, their urine and feces smell more disgusting simply because of their age.

and I do feed them all high quality grain free cat food. I've heard that leaving the poop uncovered is a sign of dominance. I think it's also a case of just being lazy. Many of my boys don't bother to cover up their pee either. My RB Storm used to go into the litter box and then he'd cover up everything that the other cats left uncovered. He was a very tidy cat.
