ENRICHMENT:
03/06/17
Hiding in litter box at back of kennel, motionless. With a slow, gentle approach I was able to give some head rubs and gentle passes over the body, but doesn’t react much. Body tenses and ears turn back slightly. Needs time to adjust. Sprayed Feliway, gave fresh wet food and some treats. Initial med exam pending.
03/07/17
Hiding in litter box, quiet, alert but eyes down, ears pulled back a bit. Let me give head rubs when I slowly and gently approached. Didn’t move out of the litter box or react much, but tolerated the attention and petting. He likes tuna. Sneaked up to the front to eat some I’d left. Added a Kuranda bed to his kennel. Needs time. Sprayed Feliway, gave him a toy and left some more tuna.
