ENRICHMENT NOTES:: 01/27/20 Lying in front of kennel upon approach, ears forward and face soft. He makes eye contact when spoken to, then remains calm as the kennel door opens. Solomon allowed petting along his head and body while leaning in and raising his rear and tail high into the air each time my hand passes along his back. He leans against my chest and arms and looks at me with soft eyes. Big, sweet boy - remained calm and allowed all petting today. Used the litter box as well. Did great! 01/28/20 Lounging on his perch, already chirping and rubbing on his kennel when seeing the assessor. He comes forward with a soft body and begins soliciting petting as his kennel door opens. He allows all petting while leaning in. Very needy and loves attention. Has yet to urinate though. 1/29/20 Litter box is clean, no recorded observations in log, reported to Rob. Apparently vet checked bladder and it’s ok, so ok to remove. Also bright and frisky.
ACTIVITY LEVEL:: Moderate
VOCAL:: Quiet
CHARACTER TYPE: : Social,Sweet,Affectionate,People oriented,Curious
POTENTIAL CHALLENGES:: Inappropriate elimination
Potential challenges comments:: Solomon was diagnosed with a UTI according to his owner, which resolved but seemed to have come back. This may be influencing his litter box behavior. Please see behavior flyer for more information.
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION: : Level 2
Behavior Asilomar: H - Healthy
BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:: Solomon is a curious and sweet boy. He was lying on top of his kuranda bed upon approach, but makes soft eye contact with the assessor when coaxed and emits a soft meow in response. He slowly leaps off the bed and sniffs the assessor by the front when the door opens. He was a bit hesitant of touch, but accepts petting on his head and body. He seemed more focused on noise outside of the room (dogs barking next door) and will twitch when pet on his body at times, but remains calm throughout the assessment. He allows to be picked up and held without issues, and remains calm when placed back into his kennel. Solomon interacts with the observer, appreciates attention, is easy to handle and tolerates all petting. No known history of behavioral problems. This cat is showing behavior appropriate for cat parents with either an average amount of cat experience or demonstrate a basic understanding of typical cat behavior.
