Cat won’t cover poop, but tries to cover his food?

I adopted a kitten two months ago. He was 2 months old. He has never covered his poop in his litter box. When he gets done eating he will try to cover any remaining food, lol, but he is just scratching on the floor. ????

Some cats don't cover their poop. I've heard different explanations, such as their mother didn't teach them to do so, and that's how some cats show dominance.

Food burying behavior is very common. The most common explanation I've heard is that they're saving the rest for later.
