Well, it isn't so much how he consumes his food, as what he does
before.  He runs into the house all excited.  Then he finds his suffed
animal squeek toy (this is very important to him).  The then prances
around the room.  Then he goes over to his food dish and drops the
toy.  He looks at the food (and thinks "oh good, I have food") and then
looks back at his toy, picks it up and thinks "oh good, my toy still
squeeks".  This repeats several times, and he starts eating.

I had to find a job outside the house because I put on this sort of
show for my friends and they were somewhat worried about my sanity
after seeing such a display.

That's why I said it was the first sign of going mad :-)
