I was linked to this site and told to post here, I'm looking for advice on dealing with a cat named Sushi that my sister was asked to look after. He is her roommates cat and sister says he may have been here for up to three days without food or water, but I can't tell if that's a joke or not. We got in and his food and water bowls were empty, his litter box was full, he'd thrown up a few times and we found poo skid marks but no actual faeces. We've since cleaned up and given him food and water, but now he's behaving very erratically. Sushi keeps rubbing against me but then running away, he's bitten and clawed at me, as well as jumped on top of me but I've been very still and tried not to react in case it freaks him out. He spent a while jumping and running around in a panic, and then he clawed at the wall before yowling and fleeing upstairs. This occurred after my sisters friends came round to drag her to the pub (she wasn't sure about going but we promised her we'd take care of things while she went with them, she's coming back in an hour) and one of my sisters friends SCREAMED in the cats face. He keeps meowing and purring and sometimes hiding under things before coming back and rubbing up against me.
I have never taken care of a cat before and honestly, the state this poor thing is in I'm considering calling the RSPCA, this seems so negligent. My friends on Plurk don't think these are normal cat conditions either, if anyone can give me any advice it would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
Replies may be sporadic, I am typing between the times Sushi will let me love him and times he wants to run and hide.
