Or what is the name of the movement of the cat or dog's paws after they went to the toilet on the ground? Or, for example, when a dog is burying a bone, are they rowing (on the lawn or ground)? Thanks.

          No, not rowing. You can describe their actions as scratching, scraping, scuffing or clawing, depending on the context, although one often speaks of dogs covering their excrement with dirt or kicking dirt over their excrement.

          • scuffing is the verb I'd have suggested. But as the link says, they are not actually covering their poop, but adding individual scent markings

          The animal is said to paw the ground when it scrapes it with its paws (or with its hooves, as the case may be).



          See paw, verb.



          When a dog is digging a hole to bury a bone, the animal is said to dig. There's no special verb that means "to dig a hole with the paws".



          An animal that digs a tunnel is said to burrow.

                    One-line joke

                    A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala
