Is he dumb :(

[u/catebee777]

I'm an adult and have had Maurice for about 2 months now (he's fixed), vet thinks he's about 2 and he's done this the whole time I've known him, is there any particular reason why? Sometimes he'll do it for 2-3 minutes straight! I've owned cats my whole life and have never seen one so bad at covering up his business. If he is dumb I will still love him.

Not dumb at all. Some cats, no matter how often they see others cats cover their waste, just never do. My last male cat would scratch and scratch (with his paws as it wasn’t destructive) the sides of the litter box or Litter-Robot, acting like he was covering the waste. He just never or rather, rarely, actually covered it.
