I'm sorry to say that our little cat Butchy died rather unexpectedly today, may he rest in peace. It started last night when he was suddenly paralyzed from the waist down and could barely drag himself about by his front legs. Josh took him to the vet today and turns out he had some sort of blood clot in his pelvis related to a heart problem. There was a treatment but it did not have a good success rate and when it did, it didn't help for long, so we put him down.
Timothy was quite sad, though I'm not sure he totally understands, but Josh was sad. This afternoon Timothy came over to Josh and asked if he could do a drawing for Butchy, so Josh got him a pen and paper. Then he asked Josh how to spell "I love you Butchy" and wrote it out as Josh told him. So sweet. Timothy had been very good when they took Butchy to the vet, and kept him calm by patting him and sitting with him while Josh chased after Morgan.
Timothy tells me that now we only have one cat left, so he seems to understand that Butchy is not coming back. We'll see what questions I get in the next couple days.
