Reaction to being picked up: Davinci remains calm and allows handling.

ACTIVITY LEVEL: Moderate

VOCAL: Quiet

CHARACTER TYPE: Social, Sweet

POTENTIAL CHALLENGES:

– Inappropriate elimination – Davinci’s previous owners report that he was urinating outside the litter box for the two weeks they had him. He was seen by a veterinarian and has no known medical issues. The previous owners report trying to put the litter box in various places, cleaning the litter box multiple times throughout the day, nd using different litter but the inappropriate elimination behavior has continued. We advise potential adopters to be aware that this behavior may continue in a home environment, and that they be comfortable with management and modification techniques for this behavioral challenge.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

– Experienced cat parent – Davinci interacts with the Assessor, solicits attention, is easy to handle and tolerates all petting. Although he is displaying behavior appropriate for a beginner cat parent, because his previous adopter reports he has been having litter box accidents, we recommend Davinci go to a home with experienced cat owners who is comfortable with modification techniques
