Nowadays, many people are raising cats at home, and the hard-working shoveling owner naturally has to take on the responsibility of shoveling poop for it. Whenever the owner shovels poop for it, the cat will watch it carefully. So why is the cat always there when shoveling poop? Maybe these three reasons.
1. Curiosity
As we all know, cats are born with extremely curious animals, so when they see their owners doing things in their own litter box, they will instinctively look over and look at them.
2. Territory consciousness
Cats have a strong sense of territory, and cat litter box is where they often excrete, so in their eyes, the cat litter box is their own territory. Therefore, when they see their owner shoveling poop, they will follow them to watch, but if they find that someone they don’t know is moving its litter box, they may launch an attack.
3. Supervise whether the owner shovels cleanly
Cats are very clean animals, so when the owner shovels, it also wants to see if its owner cleans the position. Some cats will jump in to check, smell it, and then use their claws to dig the cat litter to see if the owner has cleaned it.
