Lying in litterbox with a low, tense body. Tolerates petting along head and body while avoiding eye contact and flattening ears. Turns head away from my hand. Nervous and unsure, needs some time to adjust.

Reaction to cage door opening:
Mascarita tenses up and becomes alert.

ACTIVITY LEVEL:
Laid back
VOCAL:
Quiet
CHARACTER TYPE:
Timid
Independent
POTENTIAL CHALLENGES:
Fearful
Potential challenges comments:
Mascarita has displayed fearful behavior during their stay in the care center and may dislike certain types of handling. A fearful cat will feel more relaxed when given options, so provide her with the chance to move closer, investigate, or interact with you. Be sure to offer incentive such as treats or play time whenever the cat makes a small positive step. Please speak to an adoption counselor for additional information on methods to desensitize your cat to their fear stimulus.
