Behavior:

Cosmo behavior was monitored by the enrichment facilitator prior to his evaluation. They noticed Cosmo stress meows and becomes tense when being touched.

Reaction to assessor: Cosmo watches the assessor from the back of the cage.

When spoken quietly: Cosmo continues to watch the assessor from the back of the cage.

Reaction to door cage opening: Cosmo remains motionless while stress meowing

Reaction to touch: Cosmo becomes nervous and tense

Try picking cat up: Cosmo does not like to be held. He will struggle to be placed back down.

Behavior Determination: Experience No Child

At the time of the assessment Cosmo was displaying fearful behavior; does not seek attention from the assessor and becomes alert when the kennel was open. Remains motionless as I started to get closer but after a steady slow approach using soft voices he relaxed a little. I was able to pet him and interact with him in a limited way. We recommend that this cat go to a home with experienced cat parents with no children.
