she's done this ever since she was a kitten?

She's just being a cat. I've seen my kitties do the same thing..Pick up a peice of kibble and eat it. Some kitties just have weird quirks. Just be happy that you have a well mannered cat!!!!

Maine Coon cats pick up their food with one paw and eat whenever possible. Possibly a survival technique developed in the wild.

I had a cat that did the same thing she just didn't want to get her face in the bowl, she taught her kittens to do the same thing.

probably a learned behavior from her mother or siblings It can be a messy thing so put the food bowl on a tray and in a corner to minimize the flinging effect Cheers Jane

this is just an educated guess but i bet it goes back to when they hunted and ate with their paws--i think its cute though i had one that dipped her dry food in her water dish and, i had on that would take it off the dish put it on the mat and then eat it.

I have a cat that does that with water, and sometimes his food. I guess its just personal preference! :)

she is unique.. and watches you but she dont have utensils so for her it is easier to fanagle the food to her mouth.. instead of eating from mouth.
