Why do cats cover thier poop?

500 points to the first person who answers correctly. If 2 people answer within a min of each other, I will split the points evenly

They cover it to cover up the odor as best they can.

To hide the fact that they've been there from predators? I know a lot of animals do that.....

I've always heard its to hide their presence from prey animals, by covering their scents as others have said. That's why dominant cats and a lot of the big cats don't cover - its a territorial/dominance "Hey, I'm here!" sort of message.
