Actually cats 'burying food' is an instinct that is thought to be a way of preventing other predators from smelling the food. They often do it with food that they like. A small piece of chicken isn't worth burying--it is better to just eat it now.
Either that or it's an overly finicky cat... spoiled by too many Tender Vittles.
Which makes me wonder ... how come cat food doesn't come in flavors that reflect 'normal' cat foods from their days as predators, like 'rodent' or 'wild bird'?

That seems like a marketing problem. Besides, how do we know what flavor "rodent" is?
This made me laugh out loud!
