Lying towards back of kennel as I approach with a low body. She hisses when the cage door opens and becomes tense, backing away with front legs stiff as the bear-claw reaches towards her. She swats at the claw multiple times, preventing it from touching her. I am unable to touch her head. Needs more time to adjust. Not interested in treats today. Sprayed feliway.
05/24/17
Sitting relaxed in a crouched position towards front of kennel, purring with eyes closed and ears forward. She vocalizes softly when spoken to and opens her eyes. She tenses her body and her ears flatten when I start to unlock the cage door – she comes forward and swats at the corner of her kennel. She watches the bear-claw approach her with whiskers pulled back and swats it two more times, preventing it from touching her. Retreats to the back of the kennel with a low body and tail down. Needs more time to adjust. Sprayed feliway.
