Scratching the floor doesn't mean he doesn't like his food. Cats scratch the floor by their food for the same reason they scratch around the litterbox: to cover it. Cats hide their food in the wild by covering it up.

If they were made to feed off the floor, yes. But most pigs are fed from a trough, which is a bit cleaner than eating off the ground. However, pigs, naturally eat from the ground when they are rooting for bugs, roots and tubers to eat.


Why do cats paw at the ground before they eat?

I'm pretty sure because it sooths the pads of their feet. Things like road salt can hurt them a lot, but it's usually not needing of a trip to the vet.Answer I also heard it's because they want to figure out where exactly the surface of the water is. Somehow or other, their eyes are bad at seeing "close by" objects compared to "far away" objects. So it's hard for them to see that surface of water they drink. So instead of finding out the hard way (like trying to drink the water and end up wetting their face, which they'd hate), they paw the water first to figure out where the water starts, so they don't have to necessarily wet their face by accident.

Can you eat crumbs off the floor?

That depends on the floor. If the floor is as clean as the dishes you eat from, and hasn't been walked on, you could be OK. Generally, it is not a good idea to eat food that has landed on the floor since the flooring could harbor bacteria you cannot see. That could be a problem, unless your immune system is good (if you survive eating off the floor, that must be the case).
