This all started probably about 1 year after we got him. My husband suspects it all started one year when he got birthday balloons and put them on the kitchen counter. At the time, the litter box was somewhat close to the kitchen, but Scooter was scared of the balloons. Aaron thinks this is what caused it to start in the first place. Later, I read some articles over the internet that described Scooter's behavior, and it was a little startling because the articles were about declawing. They basically said that in some cats (it doesn't happen too often) years after the surgery was done, can develop behavioral problems, and it described Scooter's personality pretty much to a tee. That was a little surprising. So, we're really not sure what started it. Any suggestions?

Thanks!:-)
