Reaction when softly spoken to:
Bret’s eyes widen and he starts to breathe more rapidly.
Reaction to cage door opening:
Bret quickly retreats into his litter box.
Reaction to touch:
Bret lowers his body and appears hesitant when the assessor extends his hand forward. He sniffs, then gently leans in and accepts petting and rubs on his cheeks. His body perks up, he comes forward, purrs and solicits attention.
