What do you think of a stray cat that picks up a can of food and takes it beneath the deck to eat?

Some gave me free cans of cat food so I could feed strays that wander into my yard. Ive noticed that the can are never where I place them. Last week my daughter saw the cat pick up the can of food in its mouth and head for a cool spot beneath the deck. Then we saw where all the missing cans are?? What do you make of this?
