Gray Whale A1066031 – 5 yr. male gray tabby

Gray Whale was brought in as a stray, so we cannot speak to his behavior in his previous home. Please note that this cat has a severe medical condition so we may not be seeing any true behavior and behavior may change when the cat’s medical condition improves.

Reaction to assessor: Gray Whale is calm and relaxed at the back of the kennel. He makes eye contact with the assessor but doesn’t come forward.

Reaction when softly spoken to: Gray Whale remains motionless at the back of the kennel.

Reaction to cage door opening: Gray Whale is calm and relaxed.

Reaction to touch: Gray Whale allows petting all over and will inch forward slowly seeking attention. He rolls over playfully and rubs up against the assessor’s hand.

Reaction to being picked up: Gray Whale is a bit tense at first but warms up quickly. He becomes calm and relaxed and will continue to solicit attention when held.

Behavior Determination: Average

Gray Whale interacts with the observer, appreciates attention, is easy to handle and tolerates all petting. This cat is showing behavior appropriate for new or experienced cat parents.
