Dear Auntie Pomtzu, I don't always "cover" after I use the litter pan. This has started as I have gotten older. Meowmy asked the V-E-T about it. The V-E-T told meowmy that since I'm the only kitty who uses this particular pan, I have decided not to bother sometimes. Has to do with my instinctive need to communicate that I'm in charge of this particular pan (even though there is no other kitty using it). If I don't cover, sometimes meowmy will scoop right away if she is in the room while I'm using the pan. Speaking of etiquette, though - could you tell her I'd like my privacy while I'm in there? She's going to say that I don't let her be alone in the bathroom but again - who's in charge here? Meeee!
Love,
Cassie

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.
