temperament, as observed at home
avoidant with strangersseeks people out
muffin is a timid girl and is easily startled by noise or sudden movement... but underneath her fear? she's very playful and food-motivated, especially around 6pm and 4am. she's cautious of strangers and tends to retreat when visitors are over, warming up only to calm, gentle people over time.
draws her out
- rope toys, biting ankles
- any food, any time
- slow, gentle petting
- familiar, patient people
shuts her down
- loud noise, fast motion
- being held too long
- unfamiliar visitors
- rough/heavy patting
watch for
going limp and freezing under handling stress ("ragdolling"). reads as calm, but is a documented stress response (tonic immobility), not consent.
