03/07/2017 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY: Buster was brought in without information on her behavioral tendencies in her previous home. Her finder reports she does not like to be handled and may attempt to flee. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: Very scared/tense, difficult to remove from crate but allows exam once out, no signs of aggression, limited exam done in freeman net ENRICHMENT NOTES: 3/1/17 Still up on bed, eyes dilated, looking around, ears somewhat sideways. Remained immobile with head down when pet. 3/5/17 Off bed today! Laying on bedding towards the front, stiff posture, eyes somewhat dilated, whiskers forward. Withdrew slightly when offered treats. Eyes became more dilated, retreated further when door opened. Froze when pet. 3/6/17 At the front again, hunched in place, hidden behind clipboard. Stiff posture, eyes dilated. Sat in place when door opened, tolerated pets. No real response, but didn’t retreat or lower head! EVALUATION: Cage Condition: Cage is neat Reaction to assessor: Buster was perched on top of her bed, calm and relaxed. Reaction when softly spoken to: Buster makes eye contact with the assessor and tilts her ears sideways. Reaction to cage door opening: Buster becomes alert, but stays in place and looks around. Reaction to touch: Buster sniffs the assessor’s hand and was slightly hesitant of contact, but accepts petting with a slow approach and allows gentle strokes along her body. She sometimes looks at the assessor’s hand when touched along her body, but will sniff the hand and seems to relax a little. ACTIVITY LEVEL: Mellow VOCAL: Quiet CHARACTER TYPE: Timid, Independent POTENTIAL CHALLENGES: – Fearful – Buster has displayed fearful behavior during their 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 her 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: – Experienced cat parents – Buster 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.
