My maverick the baby of the family

This is my baby even though he will be 3years old in 2days on the 13th and he is not my youngest cat he is still my baby and always will be the baby. The only way to have you realize why this cat will always be the baby and the special on is to start the story before Maverick was born, I was in a very unhealthy relationship with a guy we had been together for some time and things were good so we decided to get a place together well things changed pretty quickly and to sum things up I had to get a restraining order against the guy he was charged with 4counts of assult assult with a weapon and 2 counts of uttering threats. One day not long after he shows up hands me a tiny tiny kitten and leaves I didn't call the cops because he left without an issue even though he was breaking the restraining order looking at this tiny kitten in my hands all I could think was omg how are you so small now I have bottle fed many kittens but this tiny little guy was smaller then a newborn kitten and had no further on his legs and very little on his body I right away started bottle feeding him I had to make a little pouch for him and kept him against my chest for warmth and so I could tell when he stopped breathing as this happened often and would have to startle him awake to get him to breath I spend every hour feeding him and at nearly 3weeks of age he opened his eyes informing the vet's brief that he was born premature now I got no sleep for weeks was up every few hours to feed him and clean him at 6weeks he tried his first attempt at walking which is when we all realized there was more wrong with him then just being premature...... After a quick vet visit (which was becoming common) we learned that both front legs were broken at birth as well as his hips they were healing on their own so nothing we could do but learning to walk was a little more difficult then it is for most. Now he was on alot of medication by 8weeks as he was pooping blood and food was coming out just was fast as going in it was a rough few weeks getting everything straightened out through all of this thevet discovered he also only had one complete nostril the left one speared normal untill you looked inane realized it was completely blocked by the septum. Now through all ofthis maverick and me developed quite the bond I was his life and he was my reason to get up every morning at this extremely low point in my life.....now fast forward several month Maverick spears to have grown into the most stunning cat you have ever seen with strong markings and a long lean body similar to that of a simeas I started tonotice weird behaviors with maverick such as: His weird love for bleach we had toremove all bleach and bleach products from thehouse as he would find them and try drink it and roll in it His obsession with grooming the other cats if they don't want to be groomed to bad he will pin them down this has resulted in a few arguments to say the least Separation anxiety he peed on the door when ever I leave Jeliusy will pee on the other cats or animals if he feels I have paid more attention to them rather then him Now the vet has also tentivly diagnosed him autism he has fits when something new is around he seems to not be able to handle new smells and goes into a fit where he can not recognize failure people Hates men now not allm men but mostly the men I date lol he tryst everything he can do to scare them off :p Now it will be 3 years for him in two days and I love thiscat more then anything everyday I get a kiss when I wake up and a huge when I get home he is the greatest joy in my life even with his weird traits :p We are looking into treating some of his bahaviurs with Chinese herbs as currently he is on kitty prosaic for the spraying and it has stopped it compleatly
