10/31/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPNOCHILD
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Reaction to assessor: Tarzan comes to the front of the cage – soliciting attention, rubbing against the cage front, and reaching out with paws. Reaction when softly spoken to: Tarzan stays at the front – continues to solicit attention, rubbing against the cage front, and reaching out with paws. Reaction to cage door opening: Tarzan remains soft and relaxed. Reaction to touch: Tarzan solicits petting and attention – rubbing against the assessor’s hands and becoming increasingly more active. Reaction to being picked up: Tarzan squirms and nips at the assessor’s hands, then continues soliciting attention. Behavior Determination: Experienced, no children. Tarzan is social and affectionate but appears to be easily overstimulated and plays roughly. As a result of this observed behavior we recommend adopters who are familiar with signs of behavioral arousal and agitation in cats, so that interactions can be ended before Tarzan becomes overstimulated. We also recommend fishing pole-type toys for play as they allow for interaction and vigorous, stimulating exercise while keeping human hands at a distance. Tarzan solicits attention and tolerates petting but may be assertively demanding of attention or may play roughly. Due to the behaviors seen in the care center, we feel that this cat will do best in a calm, quiet home with experienced cat parents and without children.
