Enrichment::
03/30/17:
Crouched body at the back, wide eyes, alert and wary. Flinches and slowly shifts away when the door opens. Lip licks, unsure of contact. Allows petting and takes a couple minutes to relax. Body perks up when rubbed but she keeps her tail tucked under her body. Not interested in treats. Needs some extra TLC. Sprayed feliway
03/31/17:
Gets a little startled with any sudden movements. Eyes widen when approached. Wouldn’t come forward when coaxed. Stays wrapped up in litter box. Shifts way when I approached her, even with a slow approach. Sniffs and accepts petting. Body perks up. Eventually feels comfortable enough to come forward. Wary, locks eyes with Jezebell across from her. Starts grumbling.
04/01/17:
Curled up on her blanket watching with wide, dilated eyes. Slowly comes forward when coaxed with her tail at body level. Her eyes dart around, scanning her surroundings. Sniffs through door then starts rubbing up against kennel furnishings. Lip licked when the door opens. Sniffs hand again then leans in for attention. Rolls around and gently nudges my hand for more attention. Much more relaxed/confident. Body and tail perk up when rubbed. Didn’t mind being picked up, remains calm and allows all handling. Doing great!
