I wasn’t able to vacuum much while Melbcat was alive. I’ve done a lot now but concentrated on the main areas so missed the strip between the wall and our bed. It’s full of crumbs from the treats I used to feed her in bed, and her hairs. I picked over with my fingers and saved another of her little whiskers. Angel wishes.

I’m tempted to leave it like that. It’s like a time capsule of our life together. The last one.

I still can’t accept this.
