09/11/2017 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPNOCHILD
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY: Indoor and was allowed to explore backyard Previously lived with: Adults and other cats Behavior toward strangers: Around strangers Chibi keeps her distance and hisses. Behavior toward children: Unknown Behavior toward cats: Around other cats Chibi would sometimes fight and preferred to be alone in the room Behavior toward dogs: Unknown Bite or Scratch history: None Litter box training: Chibi is litterbox trained and uses an uncovered litterbox Energy level/descriptors: Chibi was described as being aloof and independent by her previous owner. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: Hissing and swatting in the cage. Put in the net and tried to bite the net. ENRICHMENT NOTES: 09/10/17 At front of kennel vocalizing and head-butting kennel door. Allows petting along her head and body while leaning in and raising her tail. Does well during interaction, but becomes upset once I close and lock the kennel door, crouching down and swatting at my hand through the kennel door with titled ears. Needs some time to adjust. Has potential to do well here. EVALUATION: Cage Condition: Cage is slightly re-arranged Reaction to assessor: Chibi is at the front of the kennel, pushing her nose out through the door and vocalizing as the assessor approaches. Reaction when softly spoken to: Chibi makes eye contact and stress meows when spoken to. Reaction to cage door opening: Chibi watches the assessor’s hand unlock the kennel door and begins to reach through the kennel door with claws extended. Continues to vocalize – eyes are fixated on the assessor’s movements. Reaction to touch: Chibi allows petting along her head and body, leaning in and head-butting the assessor’s hand with a raised tail. Tail becomes pilo-erect with continued petting but she she continues to allow interaction and offers no further correction. ACTIVITY LEVEL: Mellow VOCAL: Talkative CHARACTER TYPE: Playful, Bold, Demanding POTENTIAL CHALLENGES: – Overstimulation: Chibi is social and affectionate but appears to be easily overstimulated. As a result of this observed behavior we recommend adopters who are familiar with signs of behavioral arousal and agitation in cats, so that interactions can be ended before Chibi becomes overstimulated. We also recommend fishing pole-type toys for play as they allow for interaction and vigorous, stimulating exercise while keeping human hands at a distance.
RECOMMENDATIONS: – Experienced, adult home only Chibi solicits attention and tolerates petting but may be assertively demanding of attention or may play roughly. Due to her swatting through her cage door and fur becoming pilo-erect during interactions we feel that this cat will do best in an adult only home. – No other cats OR multi-cat home with adopters experienced with introducing new cats Chibi remains social and ok to handle with her human caretakers, but please be aware that Chibi may be uncomfortable around other cats. Their previous owner reports Chibi hissing and starting fights with their other cats and she has been noted to hiss and flatten her ears whenever she notices a neighboring cat here in our care center. Due to the described behaviors, we recommend Chibi goes to a home with no other cats OR into a multi-cat home with cat parents experienced with introducing new cats slowly and gradually over a long period of time.
