So as to cover the odor to lessen the chance of predators finding them. That is also the reason they eat the afterbirth when they have kittens.

its part of their basic instincts...before they were domesticated and trained to use a litter box they had to go to the bathroom outside...they cover up their mess to hide their scent in order to cover their trail up in case predators are around and looking.

Perhaps to cover the scent, so predators are less likely to find them.

Coz they lack the opposable thumb to work the flush on the toilet.

Even they can't stand the smell. Really, I think it is because the smell would make prey avoid the area.

They didn't want their prey to catch their scent in the wild.

They are very private animals. Well think, it's like why do we flush the toilet?
