MEDICAL BEHAVIOR:

Fractious

ENRICHMENT NOTES:

06/04/17

Sitting crouched in back of kennel, hissing. Seems to be reacting to cat below her – solicits attention, then when he hisses she will hiss and back away. She tolerates petting with flat ears, tensing her body and retreating to the other side of the kennel. Uncomfortable – needs more time to adjust.

06/05/17

Comes forward with tail raised when I open the kennel door. I start off with clicker training – the intent is to reward her every time i can touch her, but when she comes to give me a head-butt she shrinks away with tilted ears right before making contact with my hand. She is treat motivated however, and I reward her every time she approaches me with her tail up. When I pet her with the bear-claw she tolerates it while standing, leaning away with eyes squinted and ears flat. Unsure – needs more time to adjust.

06/06/17

Eating her food by the front of the kennel. Relaxed body, turns and makes eye contact. She looks around, curious of her surroundings. She rubs up against the cage furnishings when coaxed, tail erect. She sniffs my hand then gently leans her head in for attention. Relaxed and gently guides my hand where she wants to be pet. She meows softly and quickly whips around when touched along her back. Her threshold for this type of petting is very low. She pauses, focuses on my hand and lip licks. It takes a couple seconds for her to cool down and become relaxed again.

ACTIVITY LEVEL: Moderate

VOCAL: Quiet

CHARACTER TYPE: Curious

RECOMMENDATIONS:

Experienced cat parent – Porridge 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.
