Scooter, the Cat of the Day
Name: Scooter
Age: Eleven months old
Gender: Male
Kind: Cat
Home: Escondido, California, USA
 
   This is Scooter AKA Scootie and Scoot Scoot. We adopted Scooter from the North County Animal Shelter in San Diego when he was four months old. We had lost a wonderful tuxedo kitty about a year before and it just didn't seem right around the house without one, so when I saw Scooter on the animal shelter website I went right away to get him. It took a while for our other seven cats to accept him, but Scooter didn't mind at all. He would just run up to them anyway and stare while they hissed and spit. He couldn't figure out what their problem was. Eventually they all gave up and accepted him as part of the family since he just wouldn't go away. One of the funniest things about Scooter is his voice. We almost named him Squeakers because he doesn't meow, he squeaks. Sometimes he opens his mouth and nothing comes out. Scooter's nickname is "The Stalker". When my daughters bring their dogs over to visit he likes to hide behind tree stumps and bushes or chairs and doors and wait until the dogs go by. Then he runs after them trying to attack their tails. It was pretty funny the day Josie, a golden retriever, jumped up on the back of the couch and tried to hide because little Scooter was after her tail. Scooter is such a sweet and wonderful kitty, and he always makes us laugh at the funny things he does. Almost everyday my husband tells me, "You picked a good one, Mom!" I certainly agree.
