Why do pirates bury their treasure? It's theirs and no one else's and God damn it it is going to stay that way.

Cats are clean animals.  They also lick their buttholes after they poop.

@nemt: It's genetics. Cats are clean animals and do it to not attract parasites to where they live. They also do it to hide the smell to not attract predators.

I'd like to know why when you're petting them, they show how much they enjoy it by DIGGING THEIR DAMN CLAWS IN YOU.

they are miracles. THATS how they work.  
 as for why the bury their poo, fair sure its instinct, something to do with hiding the smell so they can be tracked etc.

I'm keeping my door locked.
I thought it was just cause they enjoy inflicting pain while they derive satisfaction from someone else.
Like females.
