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.

Old man started dropping weight like crazy. Guess who's now on hyper thyroid medication and doing much better? This guy😻

So Scooter started peeing in places he shouldn't. We had him checked for UTI and that came back negative. Vet said his last four teeth were showing redness around the gums and that could be causing him pain and explain the peeing. So we got the teeth pulled, and all was well for about 5 days. Then he started holding his jaw open kinda weird right before his checkup... Turns out his lower jaw had broken, likely because of the extraction weakening the bone where the tooth used to sit. Ok, another surgery to wire the lower jaw back together. We had a vacation planned and he would barely eat for the pet sitter so he lost 2lbs and got an infection because the medicine was in the food that he wouldn't eat. Once we got home and took him for a shot of antibiotics and steroids, he bounced back and is now eating with a vengeance and the infection cleared up overnight. He had been drooling and it was matting his fur but after I cleaned him up and got him the shots, he's looking happy and healthy and no longer drooling. Wire comes out next Monday and hopefully this will be the end of all his troubles.
By far the most laid back cat I've ever known.
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.
