Exam Type BEHAVIOR
As per previous owner, Jack is friendly around strangers and plays gently with adults and children. He lived with children ages 10 & 11 and was relaxed and affectionate towards them. Jack has spent time with another cat and was relaxed and affectionate toward him. He hasn’t lived with dogs and he doesn’t mind being brushed, picked up or being placed in a carrier. His owner describes him as friendly, affectionate, mellow, confident, shy and talkative with a low activity level. Jack likes to play with stuffed toys and was kept indoors only. Reaction to assessor: Jack was lying down, relaxed on his blanket near the back of the kennel. Reaction when softly spoken to: Jack lip licks then slowly comes to the front to sniff the assessor the squints. Reaction to cage door opening: Jack becomes alert and slowly inches his way to the front. Reaction to touch: Jack sniffs the assessor’s hand, leans in for attention very slowly and allows petting with a slow approach. His tail pilo-erects and he seems unsure as the assessor pets him on his head. When touched along his back he quickly whips around and focuses on the assessor’s hand as a warning to stop. Behavior Determination: Experience No Child Jack tolerates attention and petting but may be fearful or stressed in the shelter, and may be intimidated by small children. He may be a little more independent, and may need time to warm up to his new home. Due to the behaviors seen in the care center, we feel that this cat will do best in a calm, quiet home with experienced cat parents and without children.
