Thanks everyone...I'll respond individually later...
Right now I'm still too sad. Friday was tough, before and after, but then it was sort of a relief because I knew she was in pain and I knew it had to be done, so she's no longer suffering. Now, I find myself missing her all the time...like now when I feed the cats, there's one less bowl, I don't get walked on in the morning to hurry up and wake up, and then I have to stop myself from putting ice cubes in the water bowl because none of the other cats like that. Ashley is very upset...Melanie was the alpha female and the other girls knew it, and even though she was old and frail, she stood her ground when Ashley went crazy playing, and wanted him to know she wouldn't be intimidated. Of course, he was too young to know that, and simply figured she wanted to play. He took to sitting near her and grooming her the last few days, and now he walks around looking and crying. Poor baby.
