I read somewhere that in the wild cats cover 'left overs' for later and the
pawing is a throw back to that. My Sheena and a couple of foster kittens
growl when they eat to keep the others away.

Another question...
Each time Delilah (7 m old) finishes eating, she paws her placemat like
she
is covering litter. Having seen this, the little one - Stella, has started
doing the same.
Could this be because they were strays and covered up their mice or
whatever
it was they ate? They both eat very well... three times a day for wet food
and a bowl of dry for the night time.
