07/31/2017 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – AVERAGE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY: Will was brought in as a stray, so we cannot speak to his behavior in his previous home. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: Does not seem especially interested in interaction, but does not seem shy or timid. Vocalizes for all restraint (even minimal) and seems in discomfort when touched. Vocalization escalated to swatting and attempt to bite when drawing blood. EVALUATION: Cage Condition: Cage is neat Reaction to assessor: Will was curled up and resting on his blanket near the back of the cage. Reaction when softly spoken to: Will stays curled up and doesn’t get up or come forward when coaxed. Reaction to cage door opening: Will remains motionless. Reaction to touch: Will lifts his head up and leans forward to sniff when the assessor extends his hand out. He slow blinks and accepts gentle petting along his body. After a few soft pets his body perks up then he comes forward and solicits attention. Reaction to being picked up: Will was a bit tense when picked up but he remained calm and allowed all handling. ACTIVITY LEVEL: Mellow VOCAL: Quiet CHARACTER TYPE: Independent BEHAVIOR SUMMARY: Average Will interacts with the observer, appreciates attention, is easy to handle and tolerates all petting. This cat is showing behavior appropriate for new or experienced cat parents.
