my cat Toby is absolutely obsessed with food. I feed him twice a day and he practically knocks the bowl out of my hand before I can set it down. While eating he pushes the small bowl all over the tray and has been known to flip the tray over if a single kibble gets between the tray and the wall. Once he's done he tries to steal Havoc's food so I have to watch Havoc like a hawk and take up the bowl as soon as he stops eating. Toby is usually laying down next to Havoc's bowl this whole time and will occasionally stick a paw out to try to snag a piece. If Havoc drops a piece of food outside the bowl, Toby is on it like a cat possessed. When I come home (that's their dinner time) Havoc wants some attention so I love on him on the way to the kitchen. Toby wants attention too so he's rubbing and loving all over the cabinet the feed is stored in. In fact every time anyone gets up and walks down the hall in any direction Toby runs to the cabinet and starts meowing. And god forbid I want to enjoy a snack in front of the TV- he's in my face as soon as my butt hits the recliner. I gently place him back on the floor and tell him "NO!" but he's soon inching his way nearer trying to see how close he can get without getting yelled at.

Toby is a rather stocky cat, not starving by any means, and is healthy overall. Any ideas on how to curb this behavior? It is rather annoying and he gets stepped on or tripped over any time we are in the kitchen, even if we just fed him.
