11/23/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
As per previous owner, Moretta is shy around strangers and has never lived with kids or dogs. She plays gently with adults and lived with a 6 month old female cat and was playful and affectionate with her. The owner stated she misses the litter box when she pees, she doesn’t mind being picked up and she struggles when placed in a carrier. Her owner describes her as friendly, affectionate, and mellow with a medium activity level. Reaction to assessor: Moretta was lying down at the back of the kennel with her tail curled up at her side. Reaction when softly spoken to: Moretta keeps her eyes focused on the assessor and doesn’t get up or come forward when coaxed. Reaction to cage door opening: Moretta remains motionless Reaction to touch: Moretta seems hesitant of contact and leans away when the assessor extends his hand out. She sniffs the assessor’s hand, slowly leans in for rubs on her cheek and appreciates attention. Her tail slowly rises up as she becomes more comfortable, she gives soft head butts but still seems wary of her surroundings and tends to freeze and focus on the environment. Reaction to being picked up: Moretta was a bit tense when picked up, remains calm and allows all handling. Behavior Determination: Experience Moretta may be a little more independent, and may need time to warm up to her new home. We recommend that this cat go to a home with experienced cat parents.
