I agree with you. Sounds possibly neurological which could be due to a tumor. I suggest you have Scrappy examined by a neurologist. I suggest you use your phone to videotape his abnormal behavior as many pets get a burst of adrenaline heading into a vet hospital and then the symptoms are not as obvious.
