05/10/2017 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY: Pacific was brought in as a stray, so we cannot speak to her behavior in her previous home. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: Patient attempted to flee as soon as carrier was opened. Hissing as well, eyes dilated. ENRICHMENT NOTES: 05/08/17 Lying laterally in front of kennel. She makes eye contact when spoken to and breathes rapidly. She scrambles and tries to scoot backwards as I reach towards her, eyes wide and body tense. Not interested in further interaction at this time. May be uncomfortable due to injury. 05/09/17 Lying in back of kennel with wide eyes. She makes eye contact when spoken to and begins to rapid breathe. Limited interaction due to injury. EVALUATION: Cage Condition: Cage recently cleaned Reaction to assessor: Pacific was lying down across the back of the kennel, watching the assessor with wide, focused eyes. Reaction when softly spoken to: Pacific is alert and remains immobile. Reaction to cage door opening: Pacific remains motionless. Reaction to touch: Pacific lip licks when the assessor approaches, then leans away and grumbles. She squints when touched on her head and she tolerates slow, soft pets along her body. She seems very stressed and remains immobile during the interaction. ACTIVITY LEVEL: Laid back VOCAL: Quiet CHARACTER TYPE: Skittish Please note that this cat has a severe medical condition so we may not be seeing any true behavior and behavior may change when the cat’s medical condition improves. RECOMMENDATIONS: Experienced cat parent – Pacific 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.
