I have one that does that as well, but I believe it is just the opposite. I think he is trying to bury his food so he will be able to come back later and have it still be there. He doesn't want the other two cats to eat all the canned food. He has even gone so far as to grab a kitchen rug and lay it over the food bowl, I didn't think the other two cats were that stupid, but I was wrong. I watched them walk over near the food bowls, look at the rug and leave the room without eating. Tank came back a little later, removed the rug and proceeded to finish eating all the soft food.
