Why does the cat scratch the floor near the bowl

Cats' natural instinct is to scratch the floor near their bowl after eating.

By scratching the floor, the cat is trying to bury the remains of food, just as its wild ancestors did.

Since this is an instinctive behavior, there is no point in trying to break your pet of this habit.

Feed your cat small portions so that she has nothing to bury.
