Source, please?
It is insane to me how allergic to giving credit and sources some corners of Lemmy can be 🤦🏻♂️
holy shit for a moment I thought they meant the source on cats actually thinking this when their caregiver cleans up their poo
Hahaha. I’m now thinking of my question in that context and it makes this whole thing so much funnier.
It’s often a matter of people re-sharing content from other platforms, where the source had already been stripped…
Cat has a point. When I had cats, they ALWAYS got weirded out everytime I cleaned their box. Karmalee especially would run back into her litter box, dig around in the fresh litter, then look at me like “WHAT HAVE YOU DONE??? WHERE’S MY TREASURE???”
She wouldn’t poop. Just dig around trying to find the missing poop. Then she’d look at me like a weirdo. She was very judgemental everytime I cleaned her box.
Speed on the other hand would look at me in confusion. Like “…but why? Why do you collect the poop? What am I not getting here? Help me understand…”
I hope you take this the right way when I say that you sound like you have lost your mind. Please, for our sakes, don’t ever find it. 😜
My cat used to wait for me to clean the litter box. Sometimes she’d look in it and walk away if it had too many clumps, but then use it immediately after I clean it.
The leading theory is that scooping the litter box throws the smell of feces into the air, which might attract predators (which is the reason they bury their poop, to hide the smell)
Since they think you’re doing something dangerous, they want to keep watch for predators

Cat poop is valuable
