  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.

      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’m so sorry. Don’t be hard on yourself, you did everything right. Mel cat was loved, it was just her time. Do what you need to do to look after yourself.

  You are human, doing human things. None of us know what we don’t know, and your love of Melbcat could never be denied. She looks like such a sweet and soft kitty, and I have a prehensile tail cat myself! Be gentle with yourself, you are loved and supported here 🌻

  so many hugs

  I think black cat needs you, just in their own way

  I remember when Bill first came, he was so very very shy
