Reaction to assessor: Muffin was calm and relaxed by the front. He backs away a little and looks at the assessor when softly spoken to.

Reaction to cage door opening: Muffin remains motionless.

Reaction to touch: Muffin was hesitant of touch, but remains in place and closes his eyes. He warms up after a while and slowly comes to the front, but is still shy and unsure of interaction.

Reacting to being picked up: Muffin remains calm and allows handling when you go very slow.

Behavior Determination: Experience

Muffin tolerates attention and petting but may be fearful or stressed in the shelter. He may be a little more independent, and may need time to warm up to his new home. We recommend that this cat go to a home with experienced cat parents.
