My cat is always following me for food no matter how much I feed him, is that some sort of behavior disorder ? ( he is an adult rescued cat) and is it fixable ?

You may want to try an automatic feeder. You can program it to release a certain amount and at a certain time. Eventually Steeve will not associate you with food anymore, although it may take a few weeks. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.
