12/09/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – AVERAGE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Billy Joe was brought in as a stray, so we cannot speak to her behavior in her previous home. Reaction to assessor: Billy Joe was resting on her blanket at the back of the kennel. Reaction when softly spoken to: Billy Joe lifts her head up, turns around and watches the assessor with wide eyes. Reaction to cage door opening: Billy Joe becomes alert. Reaction to touch: Billy Joe leans forward to sniff the assessor’s hand and allows petting all over her body. She slow blinks when rubbed along her back and seems to appreciate attention. Please note that this cat has a severe medical condition so we may not be seeing any true behavior and behavior may change when the cat’s medical condition improves. Behavior Determination: Average Billy Joe interacts with the observer, appreciates attention, is easy to handle and tolerates all petting. This cat is showing behavior appropriate for new or experienced cat parents.
