    Sadly we had to re home the little guy 😢 We spent thousands on vet bills trying to figure out why he was peeing everywhere and picking on the senior cat Noki. After removing all his teeth due to stomatitis, things got better for a while but he started up again. The vet said there was nothing physically wrong with him, he was just overly territorial. I cried like a baby the day we went to drop him off and I miss him so much, but after he peed all over the third cat tree I’d bought in 6 months I just had to face the fact that he needed to be in a single cat household.

      Awww thats so sad. I loved scooter. For some reason his face reminded me of my old boss. He is the perfect mix of cute, silly and slinky. He has great blue eyes. How long did you have him?

        Yeah, he is such a character too. I really miss his chaotic energy in the house. He was always getting into goofy situations, racing through the house at incredible speed or going crazy with one of the cat toys. We got him as a kitten in early November 2021. My phone keeps showing me photo memories or slide shows with pics of him and making me regret the decision to let him go… But the peeing all over was getting so bad that I was almost nose blind to it and I’d have to go around with a black light to find where he had peed. Plus, Noki is getting kinda old (13ish) and it wasn’t fair for him to be getting bullied and chased around.
