03/31/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPNOCHILD
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Luke’s former owner stated he lives in a home with 1 adult. When he plays with his owner he is usually exuberant or somewhat rough. He has scratched before. However, Luke is a has been described as somewhat playful, friendly, quiet, but talkative if he is hungry, shy, mellow, and somewhat independent. He enjoys chasing and playing with catnip toys. He is afraid during baths and runs away. He doesn’t mind having his nails trimmed, but owner states his nails haven’t been trimmed for a while. He doesn’t like being brushed and he usually swats at it. Reaction to assessor: Luke looks tense in his cage when approached by the assessor. Reaction to door opening: Luke remains crouched down in his litter box, alert with eyes wide open and head down. Reaction to touch: Luke accepts a stroke but body posture stiff and his head turns quickly towards the touch then hisses at the assessor’s hand. Placement determination: Experience / no child Luke tolerates attention and petting but may be fearful in the shelter, and may be intimidated by small children. 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.
