KNOWN HISTORY:
Titanic was brought in as a stray, so we don’t have any behavioral history or tendencies in a home environment.
MEDICAL BEHAVIOR:
4/16/18 Subjective / Observed Behavior – hissing in kennel; growling and hissing during exam.
ENRICHMENT NOTES:
4/16/18
In den, head poking out, eyes dilated, avoiding eye contact. Started meow-whining when spoken to. Hissed and growled when door opened, briefly withdrew, then poked head out again to eat offered treats after door closed. Came and sat at the front when done eating, started whining and yowling, swatted through bars when I interacted with cat in neighboring kennel.
4/17/18
Resting on bedding next to den, soft eyes and body, alert. Stood and came to the front on approach, eyes became a little dilated. Ate offered treats, lots of looking around, but no vocalizing today. Repeatedly reached between bars and patted assess-a-hand, largely without claws. Retreated a few steps when door opened, leaned away from touch. Started tapping assess-a-hand again, still no claws, but with increasing force. Ate more treats after door closed, then lay down on bedding again, eyes less dilated but still alert.
4/19/18
Very active today. Laying at front, soft eyes and body, started waving through bars with both paws on approach. Played energetically when given toys, then lay down again at front. Lay in place when door opened, eyes dilated, alert. Allowed pets, started walking around cage, occasionally batting at assess-a-hand. Seemed more like rough play than defensive swatting today. Ate treats after door closed, lay down, resumed reaching through bars.
Cage Condition:
No change
Reaction to assessor:
Titanic remains neutral, lying down with head up by the front during the approach.
Reaction when softly spoken to:
Titanic seems curious, alert with eyes wide open, pupils dilated.
Reaction to cage door opening:
Titanic slowly increases distance, looking around with ears erect and forward.
Reaction to touch:
Titanic seems cautious and hesitant with the interaction then paws the assessor’s hand before the touch. He slowly engages when still and quickly leans into the hand, but retreats again avoiding contact. During the second attempt to pet, he gently paws and nips the hand preventing from moving forward.
ACTIVITY LEVEL:
Moderate
VOCAL:
Somewhat chatty
CHARACTER TYPE:
Shy
Curious
Independent
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:
Experienced, adult only
Behavior Asilomar
TM – Treatable-Manageable
BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:
Titanic may be a little more independent, and may need time to warm up to his new home. Due to the behaviors seen in the care center, we feel that this cat will do best in an experienced, adult only home who understands this cat may need time to warm up to his new home and family at his own pace.
