Needs more time to adjust.I visited her again later and pet her. She allows petting along her head and body while remaining relaxed in her litterbox, ears forward. EVALUATION: Cage Condition: Cage recently cleaned Reaction to assessor: Cathy was resting on her blanket near the back of the kennel. Reaction when softly spoken to: Cathy turns towards the assessor and slow blinks. Reaction to cage door opening: Cathy is alert. Reaction to touch: Cathy was a little hesitant at first but slowly started to warm up with touch. She squints then nuzzles her face against the assessor for attention. Her body perks up and she rolls around on her side, gently head butting the assessor. She builds up confidence then comes to the front of the kennel with a relaxed body. Reaction to being picked up: Cathy allowed handling at first then started to growl to be placed down. ACTIVITY LEVEL: Mellow VOCAL: Quiet CHARACTER TYPE: Calm, Affectionate, Sweet POTENTIAL CHALLENGES: Inappropriate elimination – Cathy’s previous owners report that he was eliminating (urinating and defecating) outside the litter box. We are unaware of what, if any, modifications steps were taken to try and address this behavior in the home, so we cannot be sure what the trigger may have been or if this behavior may continue in a future home. However, 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. RECOMMENDATIONS: Experienced cat parent – Cathy may be a little more independent, and may need time to warmup to her new home. We recommend that this cat go to a home with experienced cat parents.
