Potential challenges comments:
Bobby’s previous owner reports that he was eliminating (urinating and/or defecating) outside the litter box, but we are unaware of what, if any, modification steps were taken to try and address this behavior. We cannot be sure whether this behavior will continue in a home environment, but 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.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:
Experience

Behavior Asilomar
TM – Treatable-Manageable

BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:
Bobby interacts with the observer, appreciates attention, is easy to handle and tolerates all petting. Bobby however does have some litter box issues that may need to be addressed in the home.
This cat is showing behavior appropriate for experienced cat parents.
