ENRICHMENT:
02/12/17
In medical, initial exam TK; has “use caution” stickers and wasn’t collared. When I first approach, she’s hunkered down in her litter box at rear of cage, ears pinned back, alernately growling and stress meowing. Extended my hand slowly, she hissed but didn’t otherwise react. Couldn’t coax forward with treats, but she seemed to recognize the sound of the treats bag shaking. Going slowly and gently I reached to her and gave some head rubs, which she allowed, and she seemed to become more at ease with slow, gentle petting. She eased her body posture, but stayed in the box, while I gave passes over her entire body and head. After a while, she began to purr. Potential to warm up. May always be a vocal cat, but she’s a sweet, social housecat that may prefer a quieter household. Began to eat when I placed a bowl of fresh wet food near her. Needs grooming, but a gorgeous cat.

Was stuck in a single cage for some reason; moved to a double; no problems moving. Tense, hisses when approached, but warms with attention. Needs time to adjust. Will check back later today. Update: Lying on blanket at back of cage, head low, appears uncomfortable. Hisses when I first approach, but warms up with petting, which he allows all over, begins to purr. Never gets up, but stretches out, eases some with the attention. Will brush his coat in the a.m. Seems to be eating wet food and using box appropriately. Gave a new plush toy and some treats.
