Came out very briefly after door closed, walked to other side of kennel, then went right back in MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: HISSING, GROWLING, TRIED TO BITE ACTIVITY LEVEL: Laid back, Mellow VOCAL: Quiet CHARACTER TYPE: Shy POTENTIAL CHALLENGES: _X_ Fearful – Astor has displayed fearful behavior during his stay in the care center and has displayed distance-increasing behavior with extended handling. Fear aggression can occur when a cat perceives a threat and may escalate if they cannot escape. A fearful cat will feel more relaxed when given options, so provide him with the chance to move closer, investigate, or interact with you. Be sure to offer incentive such as treats or play time whenever the cat makes a small positive step. Please speak to an adoption counselor for additional information on methods to desensitize your cat to their fear stimulus. RECOMMENDATIONS: _X_ Experienced cat parent – Astor tolerates attention and petting but may be fearful or stressed in the shelter. We recommend that this cat go to a home with experienced cat parents.
