Cat owners have at least once noticed how their pets begin to scratch their food with their paws in such a way as if they were burying it.
But what is this connected with?
There are several reasons.
If the animal sniffed the food but did not start eating, it means it did not like the food.
In this case, there are questions about the freshness and quality of the food. You need to take action and replace the food.
If the cat does not finish eating everything, but begins to “bury” the food, then this behavior can also be associated with instincts, when the pet tries to save the rest of the food for later, thinking that next time she will not be fed on time.
If there are several cats in the house, then in this way the pet tries to protect the bowl from another cat or from guests if the owner’s friends with animals come to visit.
In addition, do not forget about the cleanliness of cats. After all, food remains can become a breeding ground for bacteria.
