It's not unusual for cats to hide food, and it could be that Lucy is hiding it to eat later, or trying to keep another animal in the house from eating it. She is trying to hide the scent of the food so no one else can get it, and she likely will go back to eat it later. Cats who live in the wild will do this, and it can be an instinctive behavior.
