    covering food

    Hi,
    I have seen my cats do this in the past, and now my new cat, Pingwee, scratches at the throw rug that her food is on until her food is covered up. Any ideas about why they do this?? It doesnt hurt anything, and I just uncover it when she walks away, but i am still curious.
    April and Pingwee the food-coverer

    Our kittens used to scratch the floor around the dish of canned food to "bury" it because they didn't like "chicken flavor", only tuna... it took a while for them to get used to it. Maybe your new kitty is used to a different food and is making a statement even though he is willing to eat it; or maybe he is trying to bury it for later; some animals make "caches" like that.
