2 year old male pure bred yorkie! He is a catch! He gives five and LOVES to play. He hasn't been with us for 24 hours and he is already warmed up. We went over to Utah yesterday and the lady called and told me she sold her shorkie

. But then another lady called and said she had also sold her pure bred yorkie pup but had the mom and dad available. He isn't neutered but I plan on fixing that in the near future) We met up with her and picked the male. He was younger and alot more of our style. (playful with the kitties) His name is "Bubba" I think want to change it. He responds to it though.
The Bad:

He is sooo skinny! I can feel his back bone. He is bigger like a tea pot but I haven't gotten a chance to weight him yet.
And I think that's why he is food agrressive.

Last night when my cat was eating his food (because my cat is lazy and can't walk down flight of stairs to his own food and apprarently he thinks it's kitty treats

) Bubba saw him and my cat hissed and Bubba growled and took a little lunge. (but I had "Bubba" on the leash so he didn't go far.)
What can I do to help him? He went straight for his food like he was affraid my cat would eat it all before he got a chance at it(my cat probably would

) Will he get over his agressive behavior with his food if he just eats for a while?
I think the lady was trying her best to keep up with the economy and just couldn't afford to feed them that much??? Just a guess.
He is a little affraid to be left alone. He marked his territory once already but I told him "no" and took him outside then I came back in to clean up the mess and he started barking. Will he get used to being left alone once he gets used to us?
He had a really bad haircut and his nails were over grown so my dad has him at the groomers right now. I'll take pictures when he comes back

Bubba doesn't know what stairs are either. He just looks at them and tries to go over the couch to a different room. Got any tips for his spearation fears, his food agression, and his in ability to use stairs?
He is really a sweet dog and my family jsut loves him.
