10/17/2016 PET PROFILE MEMO
10/17/16 20:59 BASIC INFO Tigger is an 18 year old neutered DSH cat. His original owner got him from a neighbor when he was a kitten. She gave him to her significant other when they separated 2 years ago. He was living with his current owner for the past 5 years. Tigger has very curly and overgrown nails. His owner reports that he vomits hair once every few weeks. SOCIALIZATION Tigger is friendly/outgoing with new people. He lived with a woman since she was 10 years old until 2 years ago. He lived with an adult man for the past 5 years. Tigger has spent time with children and is relaxed, affectionate, and tolerant with them. He plays gently with people. He lived with a female cat that his family got 4 years ago; she is currently 5 years old. At first, the cat would jump on him to solicit play and he would retreat and bat at her and occasionally hiss at her. Soon, she stopped soliciting his attention. Now, he ignores her and they keep distance from each other. Tigger hasn’t bit/scratched anyone. BEHAVIOR Tigger is relaxed in the car. He doesn’t mind when someone brushes him, picks him up, holds him, puts him in a carrier, or wakes him up. He’s nervous during baths and nail trims. 6 months ago, Tigger began defecating on the floor. He did this with increasing frequency. Now, he defecates in the litterbox 25% of the time and on the floor 75% of the time. FOR A NEW FAMILY TO KNOW Tigger’s family describes him as friendly, affectionate, playful, mellow, and low energy. He followed them and sat in their laps. He played with stuffed toys. He lived inside but was an outdoor cat when he was young. Tigger slept on the couch. He ate dry Meow Mix dry food for the past 6 months to 1 year but was previously fed wet food. He eats people food and cat treats. Tigger used an uncovered litterbox with clumping litter, scooped every 2 days. He doesn’t scratch anything. INTAKE Tigger had a soft, relaxed body while I pet him, scanned him (-), collared him, photographed him, picked him up, and placed him in a carrier. He followed and head butted me. He didn’t resist, retreat, or vocalize. He ate all of his wet food.
