Why do cats hide their feces?

Wild cats, such as jaguars and tigers, mark their territories with their feces and urine and prevent foreign animals from entering their territory. But a weak species in another's territory can hide itself by burying feces. Unlike jaguars and tigers, domestic cats, which are considered a weak breed, instinctively tend to bury their feces. For this reason, most domestic cats, feeling the pressure of their owners, buried their feces in special sand or in the garden in order to protect themselves from them.
