If prey animals knew that cats were around, they would hide. So cats try to hide their feces. Typically they do this by digging holes and leaving their feces in the hole, which they then cover up.

They may be searching for a mineral in the soil that they are deficient in. Or they may just be making a comfortable spot to sit/lie in.
