One loves wet catfood, beef, chicken, tuna, any kind.

The other just sniffs it and then tries to scratch around the plate as if trying to cover it up....

What does this mean? This kitten is smaller than his/her brother, and eats plenty of dry catfood. Does it think this food smells like his excrement and is trying to mime burying it in cat litter?

no pics? you need to have pics of cute kittens you know.

and yeah, cats do that whole "pretend to cover food" thing, most cats i've seen do it, and will do it for most of their lives. prolly has to do with hiding it maybe?

I like kittens. They go good with ketchup. J/K

Some cats just don't like the wet cat food. So long as they are eating (you said they were eating dry food, right?), I wouldn't worry about it a bit.

The digging is an instinctual thing they do with leftover food so they can come back for it later. We have one cat that much prefers the dry food to the canned stuff. She will lick off all the gravy but only nibbles at it otherwise.
