Why does my kitten try and cover up her food similar to she covers her unwanted items contained by the litter box?
When she's done eating she smells her food scratches the tile around the food bowl like she's trying to cover it up beside litter or something.
I've owned cats before but I've never seen a cat do this. Could this correlate with the reality that she pees on my stuff in the closet?
In the wild solitary big cats will do this when they catch their food and want to keep hold of it hidden from other predators and to keep it cool.
As for peeing on stuff in your closet economically keep your closed door closed and don't leave clothes on the floor. The 2 things are not related.
i don't get how she can smell her food when she's done eating? if she's done there's no more food?...
mention this to your vet, he might have an answer
shes probably a very glottnous kitten thinking your going to steal her food.
Usually a cat does that when they contemplate something smells foul.
As for the urination problem, I don't see how they are related, but I do know many cats do that. You should try not to keep valuable things on the floor, and try to preserve her out of your closet. Also make sure the litter box is always amazingly clean, as when it gets dirty/smelly cats will often progress elsewhere.
she don't like the food so she is trying to cover it up and she pees on you stuff cuz she is leaveing mark
Take a undomesticated cat like, a jaguar, tiger, etc. When they make a kill, they will guzzle their prey until they are full. In most cases, a tiger (or jaguar, or..) cannot eat all of their prey in one sitting. What they do is cover up their prey next to branches and leaves, so that other predators cannot find it and eat it. When that tiger (or blah blah) gets hungry again, they go put money on to where they hid their prey.
Because there is one ancestor where on earth all felines came from (I can't remember the name for the energy of me), the trait started somewhere and then continued on into today's felines.
Your cat is doing what her relatives and ancestors did, so if you see her pawing at her food dish close to she's in the litterbox, she's actually mimicking burying her food and hiding it so that other animals don't find it and eat it for her. A couple of my cats do this too and they'll use anything they can find. Even whether there's nothing about, I've seen their bowls mortal bumped around like they tried to cover it up with nothing. *L*
It is without fault normal :) Hope this helps
PS - As for the pee, that is any territorial marking or it is a litterbox issue, but that's a different story than what you are asking. :)
