10/14/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Shadow is described as playful, shy, and quiet with a medium activity level. Shadow lived with a 14-year old boy, and was said to be playful and affectionate with him. Reaction to assessor: Shadow looks neutral in his cage when approached by the assessor. Reaction to door opening: Shadow remains sitting upright by the front of the cage, meowing attention. Reaction to touch: Shadow head-butts the assessor’s hand, but began to stress meow then swat with no claws after a few strokes of petting on the head and body. Placement determination: Experience Initially Shadow solicits petting and attention, but after a few soft passes over the body he begins to stress meow and swat. This may be a sign of petting-induced aggression, where repeated physical contact results in discomfort for the cat, or it may be a sign of overstimulation. As a result of this observed behavior we recommend adopters who are familiar with signs of behavioral arousal and agitation in cats, so that interactions can be ended before Shadow becomes reactive. Treats should be used to reward appropriate responses to physical attention.
