I noticed George do something very odd this morning. When I gave him his dish of wet food, he scratched the floor a couple times as if he was covering up poop in his litterbox and then walked away. I'm not really concerned, but do find it very odd. Has anybody else seen this behavior?

Cute...but odd

Kristin, this is a completely normal behaviour that harks back to the wild. If a cat isn't hungry right then or has had his fill of food, he will bury it to hide it from others so he can come back later to finish it. George is 'saving' his food for later.

Mine don't do that.. but when I worked at the rescue shelter I noticed alot of them doing it.. as well as when they threw up.. they would try to cover it up a bit.
Neither of my cats throw up much,
he's "burying" it for later. in the case of puke, i guess they'd bury that to keep predators off their scent.
