Funny comment, but the way my cats eat their food, I have to disagree. They love their wet food, so I know they're not trying to bury it from distaste. My female doesn't scratch around her food at all. But my male wil do it for quite a while. He will thoroughly scratch the floor around the food and on the cabinet above the food. They take breaks while eating, so I believe he is both marking his scent around the food, claiming it as his, as well as hiding it for his next snack.
