Joyous is laying in her cubby, head up and ears forward as the assessor approaches. when the cubby door is opened, she get up and comes forward, head bunting the assessor's hand and leaning into petting on the head and cheeks before lip licking and backing away. Joyous is able to be coaxed to the main area of the kennel with soft talking, coming to the front of the kennel and beginning to head bunt the assessor's hands again. She allows and leans into all petting but pauses when she hears the cat next to her moving, craning her neck to look at them before hissing. After a few moments she resumes leaning against the assessor to solicit further petting. When pickup is attempted, Joyous is able to be picked up but squirms to be put down when she is held. When placed back into her kennel, she briefly stays at the back of the kennel, lip licking before slowly approaching the front again and continuing to head bunt and lean into all petting.
Joyous interacts with the observer, appreciates attention, is easy to handle and tolerates all petting. This cat is showing behavior appropriate for cat parents with either an average amount of cat experience and demonstrate a basic understanding of typical cat behavior.
