When a cat needs to defecate, it may walk and sniff around the house to find the litter box. If it knows the box location, it goes directly, but with an anxious look and quick movements.
Before defecating, some cats scratch the litter a few times, then frown and close their eyes with a focused, even tense, expression. After finishing, the cat scratches the litter again to bury the feces completely before leaving.
