My cat paws the litter box sides. Is this normal cat behavior?

Question

After my cat uses the litter box, he paws down the sides of the box. Is the litter too dusty for him? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 1 month and 18 days old | 3 lbs

That could be completely normal as many cats do it without any particular reason. I would not be worried about this behavior as it is not related to any specific pathological meaning. If the litter was too dusty, he probably would not even use it!
