Kay 10361 – 3 yr. neutered long haired brown tabby:

10/22/17

Lying in litterbox with a low body, eyes wide. She turns to sniff my hand with ears forward then tolerates petting along her head and body while remaining very still and turning head away from my hand. Needs more time to adjust. Sprayed feliway.

 

10/23/17

Lying on top of kuranda bed with a low, tense body. She tolerates petting along her head and body while tilting ears, wide eyed. Turns head to watch my hand with a tense face. Eats treats I’ve placed down after I’ve closed the kennel door. Nervous, needs more time to adjust. Sprayed feliway.

 

10/24/17

Lying I back of kennel with a low body. She tolerates petting along her head and body while looking around the room and sniffing the air. Turns head to smell my hand and licks lips. Eats all treats after I’ve closed the kennel door. Needs some more time to adjust. Sprayed feliway.

 

10/25/17

Lying in back of kennel in a neutral body position, ears forward and fluffy tail wrapped around body. She tolerates petting initially, remaining still, then begins to lean in. Warms up with continued petting and she leans in with more force, turning her head to head-butt my hand. Purrs loudly and scoots forward, making eye contact with soft eyes. Ate treats from my hand. Beginning to warm up – did great today! Sprayed feliway.
