But not every owner knows exactly why their pets do this.
There may be several reasons.
The first is instinct.
After all, cats are hunters and may be trying in this way to hide the remains of food after the hunt so that other animals do not smell them. According to fakta.today.
This behavior is most often seen in kittens who are just adapting to life in an apartment.
Another reason may be that the animal has had too much food.
Such "burying" may be a way of letting the cat know the owner that it will not eat it in the future.
Also, if the animal is not satiated, it will instinctively start "digging" for food again.
In some cases, the cat will begin to scratch if it does not like the food.
It may not even touch the treat.
That's why it's important to watch what the four-legged one likes to eat.
Unsuitable bowls can also make the cat uncomfortable.
The model should be comfortable.
However, that's not all.
The fact is that cats are clean creatures.
If they don't like the environment in the place where they are fed, too many unnecessary smells, a dirty floor or a dirty bowl, they may try to "clean up" this way.
