ENRICHMENT NOTES:
3/27/18
In den, head peeking out, eyes fully dilated. Hissed when cage cover lifted. Hissed and growled louder when door opened. Struck assess-a-hand when offered treats.
3/28/18
In den, head poking out, eyes dilated. Repeatedly came to the front to eat offered treats, sniff hand between the bars. After a few times, startled at loud noise, retreated back into den, head poking out again. Pulled head in when door opened, tense posture. Poked nose out to sniff offered treats, then hissed and tried to swat when attempted touch. Came all the way out again after door closed, ate remaining treats, lay down on bedding.
3/29/18
At the front on approach, soft eyes and body, alert, sniffed hand between the bars. Backed up when door opened, started to retreat into den, then paused to sniff offered treats. Went fully into den when attempted touch, then reached out and swatted assess-a-hand. Came back out and ate treats after door closed.
4/1/18
Crouched in litter box, tense, eyes fully dilated. Became alert when door opened, sat up, started hypersalivating. Leaned away from touch, then retreated and pressed into corner. Continued drooling after door closed, very fearful.
4/2/18
Briefly in main compartment, fled into cubby on approach. Hunched down in litter box, tense, eyes fully dilated. Retreated to back when door opened, moved around cubby to avoid touch, then hunched down in litter box again, tolerated pets. Some hypersalivating noticed today, but significantly less than yesterday. Calmed after door closed, eyes remained dilated but gaze softened. Started eating offered treats!
4/3/18
Briefly in main compartment, retreated into cubby on approach, eyes dilated but not as tense as previously. Came to the front with some coaxing, tail up, rubbed against the door. Later, resting in litter box, eyes still dilated. Flinched when door opened, leaned away from touch, put ears sideways, started hypersalivating.
4/4/18
Resting with head down in her litter box while allowing the pets. During the interaction, she flinches and began to hypersalivate.
4/5/18
Softly lying down on her side. Head rubs and rolls over during the interaction and purrs in place.
Cage Condition:
No change
Reaction to assessor:
Petunia remains neutral, standing with tail slightly down on her cage bedding during the approach.
Reaction when softly spoken to:
Petunia becomes alert with normal shape eyes.
Reaction to cage door opening:
Petunia remains in place, ears erect and forward.
Reaction to touch:
Petunia accepts a brief touch then quickly hisses and increases distance. She seems to be conflicted and turns around to head rub the assessor’s hand. However, she retreats then paws the hand with no claws to stop the interaction.
ACTIVITY LEVEL:
Laid back
VOCAL:
Quiet
CHARACTER TYPE:
Curious

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:
Experienced, adult only
Behavior Asilomar

BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:
Petunia may be a little more independent, and may need time to warm up to his/her new home.
Due to the behaviors seen in the care center, we feel that this cat will do best in an experienced, adult only home who understands this cat may need time to warm up to his/her new home and family at his/her own pace.
