Hi back Judy!
Not only does he cover his food, but he does something that looks like very fast covering or like a dog digging with his front paws, ... only he does it on the kitchen counter. What the heck is that???? He's a very funny all black cat named Oscar with tons of personality! Judy F "J Gillen" wrote in message ... Hi Judy, Judy here too! My cat used to do that especially when he had raw meat.. I think it must be equivalent to lions(same family) who cover their kill in the wild,so no other predator can steal it. JudyG. "Judy" wrote in message t... I have three cats, one is a female who is 9 and the others are two brothers who are 2. They all have a strange habit, which is to try to cover their food after they eat in the same way they cover in their litter boxes. I have asked the vet about this, and he really couldn't give me an answer. I don't think they're telling me their food smells like what goes in the litter box, cause they all have healthy appetites! Any ideas? Judy

He does it to the surface of the counter while standing on the counter, and
he does it on lots of different counters, not just one spot! Judy "Laura R." wrote in message .net... circa Thu, 13 Nov 2003 16:34:36 GMT, in rec.pets.cats.health+behav, Judy ) said, Hi back Judy!

Does he do it while standing on the floor and reaching up to the counter, or does he do it to the surface of the counter while standing on the counter?

My cat used to do this as a kitten, but eventually stopped. I'm kind of upset that he stopped because it was adorable; he used to try to bury his food using air molecules! It didn't work very well. }  Sigh, I miss his kittenhood sometimes...-Z -- Lynxie's page! http://www.cs.fiu.edu/~flynnj/kittenpics/ Judy wrote: I have three cats, one is a female who is 9 and the others are two brothers who are 2.
