Burying Food

I ask a question. What do humans do with their food after they have lunch or dinner? I watch D&D after they have finished their meals. They do one of three things. Number one is that they throw what they have not eaten into the trash. Number two is that they wrap their 'leftovers' up in plastic wrap and store that in the fridge. Number three is that they put their 'leftovers' into a plastic container with a lid, and put that into the fridge. So, they want to save whatever it is that they had for lunch/dinner ... for another day. Well .... I do not have the luxury of plastic wrap, or plastic containers. I do what comes natural to me. I bury it. Granted, there is no dirt or ground in the house; but I try to bury it anyway. I know when I am stratching the carpet, or floor, with my paws, flinging imaginary dirt over my un-eaten food, D&D look at me like I am crazy. Saying something like 'what are you doing?'; or 'quit scratching the floor'. Something along those lines. I just look at them. I wish I could say to them in a loud human voice "I am packing away my leftovers". But instead I become frustrated and walkaway. There is a silver lining to this. They don't want me to eat food sitting out in a bowl for God knows how long. So I always get a fresh helping of canned food. Mmmmmmmm, maybe I shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth (snicker, snicker, snicker).
