We will never be sick of you. If you feel comfortable, I would love to see photos of melbcat <3
Big hugs, it leaves a hole in your heart when a pet goes. I am so sorry Melba.
Thanks. I have a few cropped ones right now, maybe I can pick out some more later.
She loved to sleep being held, and loved to have a pillow to rest her little head. These are quite recent so she looks quite tired and doesn’t look like she feels too well but they’re still nice.

Beautiful 😻😻😻
They look like she is old but very safe and resting. That's lovely. And you were feeling bad about shutting down and powering through - that is normal. Our brains protect us from the shock and grief by shutting down. Then slowly letting out the feelings as you get to a safe place. It deeply hurts so very much as the shock ends and the feelings start getting felt again - like 1000 little cuts in different ways. But that's love. It's aweful and sad and wonderful. One day it settles and all the bad good love and everything merge together and the sharp edges soften. Promise.
Remember you are the animal you need to care for now. Feed her, rest her, get her some sun. 💙
Thanks 🖤
I don’t know what it’s going to be like without my little love.
I know. Big hugs. Keep talking it through.
Such a pretty girl, the white hair in black ears!
I called her little flour ears and used to kiss them
those are lovely photos 🥰
