Behavior
Snow Phoenix’s previous owner reports she has lived with one adult in the home. She was described as friendly and outgoing around strangers, and will engage in gentle play. She has spent time around children and was respectful and gentle with them. She loves music and loves to climb. She has a medium-high activity level and was reported to scratch on furniture and chew on wires. She likes to be held and isn’t bothered when placed in a carrier.
Reaction to assessor: Snow Phoenix was calm and relaxed, lying down upon approach.
Reaction when softly spoken to: Snow Phoenix sticks her nose forward slightly and sniffs around.
Reaction to cage door opening: Snow Phoenix remains soft and relaxed.
Reaction to touch: Snow Phoenix sniffs the assessor’s hand and lightly head-butts. She begins to purr, arches her back, and closes her eyes. She appears to be a little shy initially, but warms up quickly and will lean in for petting.
Reaction to pick up: Snow Phoenix remains calm and allows handling.
Snow Phoenix’s owner has reported she would urinate outside of her litter box for the last year. She has not been taken to the vet for this issue and we are unaware if any modifications steps were taken to try and address this behavior in the home, so we cannot be sure what the trigger may have been or if this behavior may continue in a future home. However, we recommend that potential adopters be comfortable with management and modification techniques for elimination outside the litter box should this behavior continue in a home environment.
Placement Determination: Average
Snow Phoenix interacts with the observer, appreciates attention, is easy to handle and tolerates all petting. She was reported to have a history of scratching furniture and chewing on wires, and should go to a home that can safely cat-proof wires and furniture in the home. We advise future adopters to make sure to provide mentally and physically stimulating toys to keep Snow Phoenix occupied when left alone. Otherwise, this cat is showing behavior appropriate for cat parents with an average amount of experience.
