Standing in front of kennel, ears forward and tail raised. Continuously vocalizing – chatty guy! He allows petting along his head and body while leaning in and purring, tail raised and quivering. Remains calm and allows all petting for duration of session. Playful and affectionate – doing great!

Standing in front of kennel as I approach, ears forward and tail raised. Allows petting along head and body while leaning in, tail beginning to quiver. I begin petting him with more energy and he becomes uncomfortable, turns head and begins to growl. Continues to growl and reaches out towards me through the kennel door as I’m locking the door. Sweet, affectionate guy, but may be showing possible signs of petting induced aggression.
03/24/18
Social and relaxed. He comes forward with a relaxed body and vocalizes for attention. Tail quivers and sways when pet along his body.

POTENTIAL CHALLENGES:
Pet-induced aggression
Potential challenges comments:
For information on petting-induced aggression, see this article:https://www.aspca.org/pet- care/virtual-pet-behaviorist/ cat-behavior/petting-induced- aggression
Initially Jazzy solicits petting and attention, but after prolonged amounts of petting along his back he may begin to growl/grumble at the assessor. This may be a sign of petting-induced aggression, where repeated physical contact results in discomfort for the cat, or it may be a sign of overstimulation. As a result of this observed behavior we recommend adopters who are familiar with signs of behavioral arousal and agitation in cats, so that interactions can be ended before Jazzy becomes reactive. Treats should be used to reward appropriate responses to physical attention.
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:
Experienced, adult only
Behavior Asilomar
TM – Treatable-Manageable
RECOMMENDATIONS:
No young children
BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:
Jazzy solicits attention and tolerates petting but may be assertively demanding of attention or may play roughly.
Due to a bite history, as well as his potential towards petting-induced aggression we feel that this cat will do best in an adult only home. He may have some behavioral issues that will need to be addressed in the home.
Due to the behaviors seen in the care center, we feel that this cat will do best in an experienced, adult only home.
