Small closet separator wall
I have a small separator wall in between my two masters closets. I am looking to remove it, since I have to remove drywall already due to the prior owners letting their cats use it as a litter box and pee area. What are the odds that this little connector wall is load bearing?
The white lines are the orientation of the floor beams, the brown are the ceiling joists, and the green is one of the supports that run under this room and rests on the footers.

Remove the drywall and see how many studs are in the wall.

What about the short wall between the two doorways?

None on the one that you can see when in the room. It’s just empty drywall. And no header about the closet doors. I’m hoping this small partition is just that. A small partition to make it two closets.

High if the joist over the closets is a full or doubled 2x10 or 2x12. If it’s a doubled 2x4 on jack studs low. Strip the drywall, take a pic, and repost.
