For a New Family to Know
Papa is described as a lap cat. His favorite things to do are to sleep and eat. When his owner is home he will follow them around and seek attention. He was kept as an indoors only cat and is litter box trained. He uses a hooded litter box with clumping litter. He enjoys scratching on the legs of his previous owners’ wooden table. He likes to play with laser pointers. He is free fed both wet and dry food, although he will only eat pate wet food. He eats Rachel Ray salmon and brown rice dry food.

Behavior Notes:

Upon intake, Papa was meowing in his carrier. He was slow blinking but hissed. I tried to lure Papa out of his carrier with wet food, but he would retreat into his carrier seconds after taking a step out. I tried to tilt the carrier and he began hissing at me louder. His eyes became dilated, his body was low to the ground, and his ears flattened out. I had to use a blanket to burrito him into a kennel. In the kennel, he was hissing at myself and other counselors that passed by.
