Peanut Butter / Scooter Magoo

My story

Scooter (“Scoots”) is a 9-month-old purr-bug looking for his forever home with his bonded cutie pie brother Peanut Butter (also 9 months). Peanut Butter is a special little Munchkin. He was born the smallest of his litter and developed differently than other kitties. He appeared to be a boy at first, but the vet stated that he is neither a male nor female, but intersex. He was spayed but nothing male or female was found. So, he is currently healing from a large incision but doing well. I’ve been calling PB a “he,” but I am sure “s/he or they” would be just fine with Peanut Butter. Peanut Butter is adorable—he looks more baby-like and likely always will. He has a stout body, a short, bent tail, and is very bow-legged. As stated, he drinks a ton and pees a lot, but per the vet he has no kidney issues. I have several water stations around the house for all the cats, but especially for Peanut Butter. Also, PB loves to EAT. He needs to rest more and appears to need to go to sleep sooner than the others. His forever humans will need to be committed to helping him continue to live his best, healthy life by making sure he gets plenty of water, frequently cleaned litter boxes (I use clumping sand), and all the rest he needs. Peanut Butter and Scooter also both appear to have feline herpes, which is not a big deal—it’s easy to treat and I’m happy to share tips! Scooter occasionally gets an ulcerated nostril, so he has a salve prescribed by the vet that keeps him feeling his best. Peanut Butter and Scooter both are active kitties who love the tunnels, and many toys. They are both instant purr-ers who love to snuggle up on the couch with each other and with their person, or another household kitty. Jumping and scrambling to grab the feathered wand is a huge hit, but they are just as happy in a box, rummaging in a paper bag or chasing a tin foil ball. Peanut Butter can be immediately engaged when the feathered wand comes out, (as can all the kitties) he carries it around the house and can tear across the floor with the best of them to get at that curious feathered end. Scooter is especially curious, and sometimes talkative—he is very responsive to his people. In contrast to his more curious brother, Peanut Butter is often hunkered down in the sitting chicken position on a rug in the sun—this guy just moves a little slower. PB can get underfoot as he doesn’t respond as Scooter does if a human stands or moves too close. Anyone lucky enough to adopt these two will need to always be aware of PB’S whereabouts, to avoid stepping on him. (This is especially true during high-traffic moments like feeding time.) Both boys are very sweet, easy kittens to have around, adaptable to whatever routine the human sets. Scooter must have a bit of puppy in him as he carries his beloved plastic spring toys in his mouth around the house, brings them to me to throw across the room, and retrieves them over and over. Scooter can also be an observer, but he is an active guy—he loves running about, playing with another kitten in the house, or by himself. This guy is a happy kitten. They both get a lot of exercise in this household. Peanut Butter loves to get into bed with me, under the down comforter, cuddle close, and sleep. He also loves his furry donut, and his cozy cave. Both boys also enjoy climbing on the tall cat tree, scratching the sisal post, and ambushing each other. The boys also love staring out the window at the bird feeder watching their favorite show, “Goldfinch,” every day. These sweethearts are not shy; they easily engage new people and other animals. They have been living in a large home with an 85 pound, 9-year-old male golden doodle, one retired adult female human, and three female cats/kittens (aged 14 years, 15 months, and 7 months). They have access to several levels of the home, thus racing up and down staircases chasing each other to great enjoyment. I suspect if you asked them, they’d love a similar environment in their forever home. Peanut Butter and Scooter are used to a me being around a lot since I am retired. They play hard together but can happily go off to their own play, or rest at will. They enjoy having activity in the home, and especially love having their person pay attention to them and play with them. A retired or work-from-home person would be best! Due to some tough experiences in their original home with a “protection dog,” I do not recommend the boys go to a home with a rowdy or aggressive dog—but a calm, gentle canine friend would likely be well accepted. Because Peanut Butter is a unique being, and needs more attention due to his special qualities, only experienced cat person(s) would be the best fit for these little loves. These sweethearts had a very hard start for such young boys, but they have thrived in their cozy, affectionate foster home, and would love to continue their peaceful journey with the right patient, compassionate, cat-savvy humans.
