Dogs do it too...

They are leaving their scent as their are scent glands in the paws.....its so much fun when one dog covers my other dog with grass etc etc

My dog does that too, always after a poo, never a wee

my dog scratches before and after they poo.

Sometimes scratches the corners of the walls randomly too!

I guess your pet copied it from the cat or other animal...
