why cats scrach for floor near food
Leonidas is my second cat and he's a love, but I can't stop him from scratching the floor once he's finished with the litter box. My other boy, Ashanti doesn't have that problem and they play together great. But Leonidas refuses to stop. I have picked him up to attempt to stop this, but that doesn't work either. 1. My cat, Loki, does this and I have concluded that he scratches because he is trying to bury the smell. For example, when he's done with food, he pretends to bury the food and will keep doing it until we take up the dish. Also, in times where he's vomited, he will try to bury (scratch at the floor) the vomit.
