My 5-year old Yorkie, who up until now has always enjoyed his own food, has gotten into the habit of eating the cat's food. When I feed the cats, I now have to keep an eye on him to stay out of their bowl!

I tried switching him to what I consider a better food (Natural Balance Ultra - he was on Nutro before), and it worked fine for the first week. Now he's back to raiding the cat bowls and not finishing his food.

Any thoughts or ideas? I'm getting worried because he'll be going to a petsitter for a couple weeks who has cats, and she free-feeds them as opposed to mine who just get small meals twice a day.
