ENRICHMENT NOTES:: 01/03/18 Lying in back of kennel, body flat and ears tilted. Leans away when approached. Tolerates petting along head and body while backing up and avoiding eye contact, body remaining low to the ground. Needs more time to adjust.
Cage Condition:: Cage is recently cleaned
Reaction to assessor:: Bagheera was tense and lying down completely flat inside her litter box.
Reaction when softly spoken to:: Bagheera keeps his eyes focused on the assessor’s movements and didn’t get up or come forward when coaxed.
Reaction to cage door opening:: Bagheera remains motionless.
Reaction to touch:: Bagheera slow blinks and curls up, shrinking his body when touched along his back. He tolerates petting with a slow approach and starts to warm up with petting. After a few soft passes along his back he nudges the assessor and leans in for rubs on his cheeks.
ACTIVITY LEVEL:: Laid back
VOCAL:: Quiet
CHARACTER TYPE: : Timid,Independent
POTENTIAL CHALLENGES:: Fearful
Potential challenges comments:: Bagheera has displayed fearful behavior during their stay in the care center and may dislike certain types of handling. A fearful cat will feel more relaxed when given options, so provide him with the chance to move closer, investigate, or interact with you. Be sure to offer incentive such as treats or play time whenever the cat makes a small positive step. Please speak to an adoption counselor for additional information on methods to desensitize your cat to their fear stimulus.
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION: : Experience
Behavior Asilomar: TM – Treatable-Manageable
RECOMMENDATIONS:: None
BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:: Bagheera may be a little more independent, and may need time to warm up to his new home. We recommend that this cat go to a home with experienced cat parents. Any future home with children should conduct a thorough interaction before adopting.
