What my friends at ACC say about me:
* I would appreciate slow introductions to new people and places to help me feel safe.
* What do you get when you cross a cat with a couch? A cat-potato! And that's me to a T!
* I love to be loved, but on my own terms! Let's brush up on some feline body language together!

BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:
Sandy was loafed in her cubby as the assessor approached, body and face relaxed with her ears forward and her feet and tail tucked. Sandy made eye contact when spoken to and she vocalized softly and stood up to greet the assessor as the kennel door opened. Sandy stepped into her main kennel space when coaxed and she allowed petting along her head and body while leaning in, raising her tail and head-butting the assessor's hand. Sandy remained calm when lifted and placed back down.
Sandy 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.
