PERSONALITY Blues Clues’ family describes her as friendly, shy, mellow, quiet, independent, and low activity. She spends most of her time alone in comfortable places. She has a ball with a bell that she plays with alone. She doesn’t play with people anymore. HABITS Blues Clues lived inside and slept anywhere. She ate dry cat food and enjoyed treats and people food. She used an uncovered litterbox with clay litter. TRAINING Blues Clues was littertrained and hadn’t had accidents until a few months ago.

04/12/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPNOCHILD
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Reaction to assessor: Blues Clues hisses upon approach. When softly spoken to, she focuses on the assessor with dilates eyes. Reaction to cage door opening: Blues Clues remains motionless. Reaction to touch: Blue Clues hisses at the assessor’s hand, but tries to sniff it. She allows gentle touch on his head and back, but remains immobile, continues to growl, and is wary of the assessor’s hand. As per previous owners, Blues Clues has lived with adults. She is shy with strangers and children. She has been around another female cat, in which she got along with. They described her as friendly, shy, mellow, quiet, independent, and has a low activity level. She was alert upon intake, but was easy to handle and didn’t resist, retreat, or vocalize. Behavior Determination: Experience No Child Blues Clues tolerates attention and petting but may be fearful or stressed in the shelter, and may be intimidated by small children. She may be a little more independent, and may need time to warm up to her new home. They also note one concern: Blues Clues has been urinating on the floor every night, for the past 2-3 months. Veterinarians and trainers have not been consulted, so we are unaware whether this behavior is due to medical reasons. We advise any potential adopter to be prepared for this behavior, and prepared manage it if it appears in a future home. Methods of managing and attempting to modify this behavior can be discussed with the Adoption Counselors. 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.
