Picky eater, may need to encourage to eat. Stressed in shelter/cage, can be very vocal while adjusting.  Once he settled, he started to seek attention. History of being social and attention seeking in home.  Lapses in litterbox usage, however boxes were rarely cleaned and did not make attempts to remedy problem.  Adoption floor would likely be a difficult space for him to adjust and he makes his discomfort known (growls, screams, swats).  Behavior intensity seems to be cage/shelter specific.
