ENRICHMENT NOTES:
03/15/18
Sitting in cat den, eyes wide. Makes eye contact with a tense face and tilts ears when spoken to, kittens mewing next to her. I am unable to coax her out at this time – nervous and unsure. Needs time to adjust.
UPDATE: Tense, low body, wide eyes. When out of den she shifts and darts around cage to avoid touch. Will rush forward and hang on kennel door. Very nervous and uncomfortable. Limited interaction due to stress.
