My Coco Puff is the same way. There are times when I have to put him in the basement, especially when I'm cooking dinner because he jumps on the countertop and tries to grab and run w/the food. If it's shrimp, forget about it; he's all over it. I don't know that he's obsessed w/food so much as he just has to be into everything. He's just got to see what's going on. Maybe that's the case w/Toby, too?
