I've had my new cat, Harvey for almost a week now. I got him from my teacher after her neighbor abandoned him when they moved. He had been attacked, with a weepy paw and infested with fleas, but now he's all cleaned up and healed. He is also missing a leg from a previous accident. We believe it was a car accident. Harvey has been through a lot.
He seems pretty settled in his new house and with his new people. He's on my bed right now grooming himself, but there are a few things my family and I are worried about.
He hasn't been eating and drinking very much. He will eat human food, and begs for it, but not his cat food from what we've seen.
He has bumps that have broken out on the top of his head and down his neck. Nothing awful, but they are crusty and new since we brought him home.
He will bite sometimes.
He meows a lot when he feels he is alone. We could all be asleep, and he'll hop down from my bed and go out in the hall to start meowing at 4 am. He also does this if someone is in another room than him, but he also likes to go be by himself and not be near people, and will get weird about being touched.
Despite this sometimes stand offish behavior, he is incredibly affectionate. He likes to snuggle and be pet and is warming up more and more to stepping onto our laps.
He use to be an outdoor kitty, but the vet said to keep him indoors now, and he's not happy about it.
Any suggestions or advice to calm our worries would be appreciated.
