Tamara, as for the bump on her head, I don't know if it's the same thing, but Peanut was a long haired cat and as she got older, she got several bumps on different parts of her body. The vet said they were nothing to worry about and were normal in older cats. To me they looked almost like ingrown hairs maybe? The only time there was ever an issue for one was about 8 months before she died, one on her back abscessed and the vet had to clean it out real good and she had to be on antibiotics for 10 days to make sure it healed up correctly. So hopefully the bump on Puff's head is something similar and as unimportant.

Poor sweet Puff, she's probably scared and confused not knowing why she can't be with her human companion. The geriatric center where my Mom is gets visits from a group that brings dogs and cats to visit the residents. The residents love these visits, the looks on their faces while petting them and talking to them is a beautiful thing. Mom absolutely fell in love with the kitty that jumped up in her wheelchair, curled up in her lap and fell sound asleep. Arranging a visit between Puff and her former companion might be good for both of them but my concern is that Puff might become even more upset and confused when it comes time to leave. Bless you for taking her in!
