Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Lucas’s previous owner reports he is unbothered by strangers and is tolerant when they pet him. He has not been exposed to children, but played gently with the adults he lived with. He has lived with other cats and small breed dogs, getting along with all of them. He is tolerant of having his coat brushed, but may give a struggle when taking him out of a carrier. He was described as a mellow and friendly cat, with a medium activity level. He tends to follow the owner around at home and enjoys playing with mice toys and balls. Reaction to assessor: Lucas was lying down, partially hiding behind his litter box. Reaction when softly spoken to: Lucas does not respond and remains completely still. Reaction to cage door opening: Lucas becomes alert and pokes his head up to look around. Reaction to touch: Lucas sniffs the assessor’s hand, but his ears bend flat as the assessor extends their hand to pet him. He is tense during touch and his body flattens. He remains immobile during the rest of the interaction. Behavior Determination: Experienced, No Children Lucas 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.
