MEDICAL BEHAVIOR:
1/2/18 Observed Behavior -growling, swatting
ENRICHMENT NOTES:
12/31/17
In den on approach, completely out of sight. No response to door opening or being spoken to. Leaned away from touch, hissed and swatted once.

1/2/18
In den on approach, occasionally peeking out, eyes dilated. Withdrew into den when door opened. Reached out and swatted assess-a-hand when offered treats, started growling.

01/03/18
Under kuranda bed, focusing on me. Gaze softens when coaxed, but still tense. Hisses and leans on back wall when door opens, growling. Lifts paw to prepare to swat and doesn’t relax until I leave.

01/07/18
In cubby, calm and relaxed. She approaches the front when door opens and leans in for petting when hand extends. She head-butts lightly and lifts her rear during interaction, though still seems a bit wary of surroundings. Doing much better!

Huge improvement! Resting on cat bed in top cubby, alert, eyes dilated. Stood and came forward when door opened. Head-butted, leaned and arched into pets, purred! Stayed at the front after door closed, started cheek-rubbing cage furnishings. Came briefly out to shelf with only minor coaxing. Sniffed hand between the bars.
Cage Condition:
No change
Reaction to assessor:
Illinois remains tense, crouched position at the back of the cage during the approach.
Reaction when softly spoken to:
Illinois remains immobile in place.
Reaction to cage door opening:
Illinois becomes alert with eyes dilated, ears erect and forward.
Reaction to touch:
Illinois accepts the touch, but stiffens up, ears draw to the side and flinches. After, she began to hiss at the assessor’s hand while the interaction was finishing.
ACTIVITY LEVEL:
Laid back
VOCAL:
Quiet
CHARACTER TYPE:
Timid

Independent
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:
Experienced, adult only
Behavior Asilomar
TM – Treatable-Manageable
BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:
Illinois may be a little more independent, and may need time to warm up to her new home. Due to the behaviors seen in the care center, we feel that this cat will do best in an experienced, adult only home who understands this cat may need time to warm up to her new home and family at her own pace.
