Very scared. 10/1/17 Curled up at back of top cubby, tense, posture, eyes dilated, head down. Lay in place when door opened, sniffed treats but didn’t eat. Tolerated pets, minor lip licking. Sprayed feliway. 10/2/17 Curled up in top cubby, partly hidden behind bedding. Tense posture, head down, eyes dilated and darting. Hissed when door opened, then sniffed assess-a-hand and slowly started to eat treats. Tolerated pets while eating, but remained very tense. Sprayed feliway. 10/3/17 Crouched at back again, eyes dilated, but less tense today. Came forward for treats, still seemed a little uncertain, but then leaned and arched into pets! No hissing today. Sprayed feliway. 10/4/17 Improvement! Resting in top cubby again, eyes still a little dilated. Stood and came to the front for treats with less than the usual amount of coaxing. Allowed touch while eating, then actually leaned and arched a bit into pets! Seems to prefer body pets over head pets. Sprayed feliway. 10/5/17 Still in top cubby, eyes a little dilated, but soft posture. Stood and came forward when door opened, started eating treats. Leaned and arched into pets, still a bit wary, startles easily from room noise. Sprayed feliway. Cage Condition: No change Reaction to assessor: Furry remains neutral, crouched position in her cage cubby during the approach. Reaction when softly spoken to: Furry becomes alert with eyes wide open. Reaction to cage door opening: Furry stiffens in place, alert with eyes dilated, ears erect and forward. Reaction to touch: While Furry accepts the touch, her distance increases and she began to lip lick while showing no further interest with the interaction. ACTIVITY LEVEL: Laid back VOCAL: Quiet CHARACTER TYPE: Independent BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION: Experience Behavior Asilomar TM – Treatable-Manageable BEHAVIOR SUMMARY: Furry tolerates attention and petting but may be fearful or stressed in the shelter. Furry may be a little more independent, and may need time to warm up to her new home. We recommend that this cat go to a home with experienced cat parents.
