over the next week and possibly a pretty good rainy season, if I
should fill in around the catus and make it so water runs off more
naturally so it does not get to much water soaking in? Will the dirt
filled in, which will cover probably about the first 3 inches of the
catus stalk out of the ground hurt it? Thanks.


Are you talking about a cactus, such as Opuntia imbricata, or a
housecat (Felis catus)?

I have found that when you plant a catus it is a good idea to put some heavy
rocks on top to ensure that the canis doesn't disinter it and bring it home.
