11/23/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – BEGINNER
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Jigger was brought in as a stray, so we cannot speak to his behavior in his previous home. Reaction to assessor: Jigger was resting in his litter box and slowly turns his head towards the assessor and glances over with calm, relaxed eyes. Reaction when softly spoken to: Jigger comes forward to greet the assessor with his tail erect then gently brushes up against the kennel door. Reaction to cage door opening: Jigger is calm, relaxed and starts to purr softly. Reaction to touch: Jigger brushes up against the assessor’s hand and purrs softly when rubbed on his cheeks. He is very affectionate, allows petting all over and gives soft head butts when rubbed on his head. Reaction to being picked up: Jigger is calm, relaxed and has a soft body when held. Behavior Determination: Beginner Jigger interacts with the assessor, solicits attention, is easy to handle and tolerates all petting. No known history of behavioral problems. This cat can go to a beginner home.
