A boy and his cat

Æthelred started hunting and attacking Horatio, which broke our hearts and led to a string of vet visits to see if someone was sick. Horatio was fine but Æthelred had problems with his teeth and ended up having *9* removed. Our household was also disrupted by keeping the boys separated for weeks while all this played out. Around Christmas my sister said she could “foster” him - huzzah! We brought him up on New Year’s Eve, and at first he was pretty skeptical of my younger nephew (not pictured). However, everyone in the household (5 people) is very excited to have him, and he’s settled in nicely. He even caught a mouse! I miss him painfully, but even I can see he traded up.
