New tripod owner concerned about behaviors

I just adopted Barnaby who is a 4 year old male tabby. He underwent limb amputation 3 weeks ago. He eats well, drinks, uses the litter box, but has some unusual behaviors that I am not sure are normal for a tripawd. Occasionally he will turn himself around in a circle, and he seems to have issues walking around objects. Often times he will step in his water dish just to reach his food, instead of walking around the dish. He's not on any medication.

Hi and welcome! Thank you for adopting Barnaby.

By any chance does his behavior sound like the backward walking behavior situation?

Do you know what kind of pain management he received for the surgery? 

I'll be back with more in just a bit. Stay tuned for feedback from others.
