I took Melanie in yesterday afternoon and shes no longer with us. She went downhill very quickly in the past few days. She had stopped eating, but then started again only to stop a day later. She stopped drinking yesterday and was having trouble walking. It seemed like she was starting to shut herself down and wanted to leave. It was a difficult decision, but the right one because shes not suffering and thats the important thing.
I will miss Melanie very much. She was my favorite cat. When I got her and Scarlet almost 17 years ago she took to me right away, and followed me everywhere. She always cuddled in bed, and if for some reason I was late in getting to bed, she would very loudly let me know it was time to snuggle. I lied down with her for a few hours today to say good-bye. A beautiful, affectionate and very demanding cat. Her sisters and brother miss her, too. Sweet dreams my little girl.
Below, in the pictures with her sister Scarlet, she is the one on the left in both.
