BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION: : Level 1

BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:: Wow Wow Wubbzy was lying in the back of her kennel as the assessor approached, body and face relaxed. Wow Wow Wubbzy Made eye contact with a soft expression when spoken to, then vocalized and began kneading with one paw as the kennel door opened. Wow Wow Wubbzy allowed petting along her head and body while leaning in, purring and continuing to knead as she stretches her feet and tail away from her body. The assessors is unable to coax Wow Wow Wubbzy into a standing position, but she does allow the assessor to apply upward pressure to her sides as well as rub her belly without any signs of escalation. Wow Wow Wubbzy interacts with the assessor, solicits attention, is easy to handle and tolerates all petting. This cat is suitable for any level of adopter experience.
