Reaction when softly spoken to: Diamond looks out from a peep hole and blinks. Reaction to cage door opening: Diamond becomes stiff and remains motionless. Reaction to touch: Diamond sniffs the assessor’s hand from the den opening and comes out halfway. She does not feel comfortable enough to come all the way out, but she sniffs the assessor’s hand and places her head under the assessor’s hand to be pet. She accepts gentle petting, but will shrink back inside the den with any sudden noise or movement. ACTIVITY LEVEL: Mellow VOCAL: Quiet CHARACTER TYPE: Shy, Timid, Sweet POTENTIAL CHALLENGES: – Fearful – Diamond has displayed fearful behavior during their stay in the care center and may display 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, adult home only – Diamond tolerates attention and petting but may be fearful or stressed in the shelter, and may be intimidated by small children. She may need more time to warm up to her new home. Due to the behaviors seen in the care center, we feel that this cat will do best in an experienced, adult only home.
