Hey /an/, I have a kitty that won't bury his poop (just kinda stopped for no apparent reason). Any idea why or how to amend his ways?

Things of note: I found him outside. He is neutered. I recently (today) found out he has tapeworms :( However, he's really rambunctious and healthy, just has worms. Could any of this have contributed to his odd potty habits?

Maybe he's having trouble with his sense of smell. Have his eating habits changed any?

Nope, he's eating just fine and not begging more than usual.

Your cat thinks you are his bitch.

Seriously.

In the wild, cats bury their poop to protect their trail from predators and other larger cats. The dominant cat in an area, however, will often leave his poop uncovered as a dominance display. Typically, we see house cats bury their poop all the time because we as owners are percieved (by the cat) to be the dominant animal.

Well that solves it. Kick the fuck out of your cat until it starts to bury its shit.

Well, damn... How the hell do I reverse the roles here? I'm not kicking him nor marking my own territory.

Get into a play fight with him. At some point, hold him down, get behind him, and bite the back of his neck. Hold him there for a bit. Repeat whenever he gets uppity.

Biting my cat... I never thought I'd see the day. I'll certainly try a variation of that at least. As it is, when he's feeling playful, he'll "attack" our hands and feet, especially if we're petting him (claws in, pedaling with his feet and mostly just biting a lot). We don't really scold him when he does it because it's so adorable.

No wonder he thinks he's king of the jungle...

YOU HAVE TO LITERALLY HISS BACK AT THE CAT. A MEAN THREATENING HISS TO SHOW DON'T FUCK WITH ME. HOWEVER, DO NOT, DO NOOOOOOOT PUT YOUR FACE RIGHT UP TO HIS TO DO THIS!!! FUCKING BASTARD MAY FUCK YOUR FACE UP. INSTEAD, DO THE HOLD DOWN FROM BEHIND AND PULL THE SCRUFF OF HIS NECK (LIKE HIS MOM WOULD) AND MENACINGLY HISS AT HIM FROM BEHIND HIS EARS. HAHA THAT LITTLE BASTARD WILL SHIT BRICKS, BUT YOU GOTTA LET HIM GO AFTER HISSING AT HIM OR ELSE HE'S GONNA TAKE YOU ON. THEN YOU GOT A CAT BATTLE ON YOUR HANDS.

I hope you've gotten worm medicine already. He'll be happier without the immigrants.

It's surprisingly easy to administer too. Just get one of those tubes and mix it into their food. Me and ex had two cats, and they ate it all just fine. I've heard some people have trouble getting their cats to take the medicine though.

If I saw someone doing this I would never speak to them again.
How hard is it to yell or make stern hand gestures next time he does something half stupid.
