Why does my kitten cover her food like she's in a litter box?

Question

My kitten has really recently started trying to cover food. It looks like how she covers in litter box but I read it could be some type of survival instinct. We also have another older cat in the house if that helps in anyway. I'm just curious as to why she started doing this.

Some cats tend to do that. Mine do it when they do not like their food. So you may want to try some other brand of canned kitten food. Or canned kitten food if you have been feeding dry food. You should also put the water fountain/bowl a few feet away from the food as cats do not like to drink water that is near their food.
