My kitten does this really strange thing that I've never seen a cat do before...
When she is done eating she stands over her dish and starts pawing at the ground towards it like she does when she is in the litterbox and makes all the litterbox-like burying motions, as though she is attempting to dig non-existant stuff up to bury her food with. She does this every time with wet food but have seen her do it with dry as well, and she always does it once she is finished the meal, so either when it is all gone or there is just a little piece left. She will paw at the carpet all around it/towards it, and if there is a shoe, sock, or blanket near by she will make sure to throw that on top of the dish as well whilst "burying"...
Why is she doing this? lol
(Sidenote: she has never "gone" anywhere but her box, which makes the behavior seem even more random to me!)
