04/09/2017 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – BEGINNER
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY: Lived Indoors Behavior toward strangers: Friendly Behavior toward children: Relaxed Behavior toward cats: Unknown Behavior toward dogs: Unknown Bite or Scratch history: None Litter box training: Yes, but recently eliminating around the house Energy level/descriptors: Energetic Other notes: Fearful MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: Allowed exam, friendly EVALUATION: Cage Condition: Cage is neat Reaction to assessor: Six is asleep on approach. Reaction when softly spoken to: Six wakes up, continues to lay in place, and looks at the assessor with soft eyes. Reaction to cage door opening: Six sits up and stays in place. Reaction to touch: Six leans into the stroke and begins to purr. Reaction to being picked up: Six sits calmly in the assessor’s arms and looks around. ACTIVITY LEVEL: Laid back VOCAL: Quiet CHARACTER TYPE: Calm, Easy going, Affectionate POTENTIAL CHALLENGES: – Inappropriate elimination Six’s previous owner reports that he was eliminating outside the litter box, but we are unaware of what, if any, modification steps were taken to try and address this behavior. Please note as well that Six has been diagnosed with and is being treated for diabetes in the care center, which may be influencing the urination behavior. We cannot be sure whether this behavior will continue in a home environment after treatment for the medical condition has been completed, but we recommend that potential adopters be comfortable with management and modification techniques for elimination outside the litter box should this behavior continue in a home environment. BEHAVIOR SUMMARY: Beginner Six interacts with the Assessor, solicits attention, is easy to handle and tolerates all petting. No known history of behavioral problems. This cat can go to a beginner home.
