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.

Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar.
