12/11/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – AVERAGE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
O’Neal was brought in as a stray, so we cannot speak to his behavior in his previous home. The medical team reports he did not allow restraint during his initial medical exam, but that may be a reaction due to having a wound around his neck. Please note that this cat is being treated for a medical condition at the time of evaluation. It is difficult to determine at this time how the medical condition may be affecting the behavior. Reaction to assessor: O’Neal was calm and relaxed upon approach. Reaction when softly spoken to: O’Neal rolls over and rubs his cheeks against his blanket, kneading. Reaction to cage door opening: O’Neal leans against the wall and remains soft and relaxed. Reaction to touch: O’Neal head-butts, leans in for petting, and rolls over. He is very affectionate during the interaction, rolling over each time he is spoken to and kneading with his paws. Reaction to pick up: O’Neal was slightly tense (may be due to girth), but remains calm when held. Behavior Determination: Average O’Neal interacts with the observer, appreciates attention, is easy to handle and tolerates all petting. In spite of his injury, this cat remains friendly and social. This cat is showing behavior appropriate for new or experienced cat parents.
