03/26/2017 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY: Rupert was brought in as a stray, so we cannot speak to his behavior in his previous home. He allowed all handling during intake and did not display any signs of aggression. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: Allowed handling with an occasional tail whip or low growl but allowed all positioning and palpation. EVALUATION: Cage Condition: Cage is slightly re-arranged Reaction to assessor: Rupert is asleep on approach. Reaction when softly spoken to: Rupert remains asleep. Reaction to cage door opening: Rupert wakes up starts eating dry food. Reaction to touch: Rupert allows and slightly leans into head pets, then grumbles quietly when pet past the lower back. Reaction to being picked up: Rupert starts to growl on attempted pick-up. ACTIVITY LEVEL: Mellow VOCAL: Quiet CHARACTER TYPE: Calm, Independent POTENTIAL CHALLENGES: – Uncomfortable with pick up Rupert did not appear to like being picked up during their behavior evaluation. Please keep in mind there are many reasons why a cat may be uncomfortable with this type of handling and that this may not necessarily translate into a home environment. We recommend any future home with children be counseled in respecting the cat’s space and for the family to use care when picking him up, especially while he is still adjusting to his new home. BEHAVIOR SUMMARY: Please note that this cat is being treated for a medical condition at the time of evaluation. It is difficult to determine at this time how the medical condition may be affecting the behavior. Rupert may be a little more independent, and may need time to warm up to his new home. We recommend that this cat go to a home with experienced cat parents. RECOMMENDATIONS: – Experienced cat parent
