Behavior
Daisy’s previous owner reports she is friendly around strangers. She has not spent time with children, but has lived with another cat and was tolerant with this cat. She has also lived with a small breed dog and was respectful around this dog as well. The owner reports she dislikes sudden or loud noises, and may attempt to scratch when this happens. She allows to be held, but will try to wiggle loose if held for too long. She was best described as a friendly, mellow, and quiet cat with a low activity level. The owner reports if you ask her for a kiss, she will give you one. She also tends to follow the owner around at home.
Reaction to assessor: Daisy was calm and relaxed upon approach.
Reaction when softly spoken to: Daisy looks at the assessor with almond-shaped eyes and blinks softly.
Reaction to cage door opening: Daisy becomes alert and steps back slightly.
Reaction to touch: Daisy was hesitant of touch, but sniffs the assessor’s hand when placed in front of her. She allows gentle petting on her head and body, although she tenses up when stroked against her back. She will turn her head to sniff the assessor’s hand some more, but slowly tucks her paws underneath her body afterwards.
Behavior Determination: Experienced
Daisy tolerates attention and petting but may be fearful or stressed in the shelter. She may need time to warm up to her new home. We recommend that this cat go to a home with experienced cat parents. Because the owner reports she dislikes loud noises, we recommend any future home with children conduct a thorough interaction before adopting.
