Enrichment::
02/08/17
Lying low, head down, quiet, ears partially flattened, unmoving. Looks up but doesn’t move when I approach the kennel, the same when I open the cage door. I slowly extended my hand to him, he doesn’t move or sniff my fingers, lifts head up some, makes a little eye contact. Allows some gentle petting of his head, but slowly turns head away, doesn’t otherwise move. Wants to be invisible. Needs time to adjust. Sprayed Feliway, left a little catnip-silvervine mix, and gave some treats. Added to socialization list.
02/09/17
In same position as yesterday, at side of cage, back against side of cage, body and head low, eyes are soft, makes a little eye contact. Doesn’t seem to have been active at all during the night, not sure if he’s been eating. A couple Temptations treats are still in his cage from yesterday. Able to give some soft, gentle passes over head and body, but uncomfortable and would prefer to be hiding (looks like he was trying to lift up and get under the cage liner paper or possibly create a bit of a wall; lying directly on top of the cage floor). Heartbreaking. Sprayed Feliway, will look for a Kuranda bed for him.
