Wonder Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 (edited) Mel was my first cat. I was so excited to graduate from college, get my first apartment and my first pet He was such a cute kitty and put up with so much Big hair He used to paw at it Then he got fat In 1997 we moved to Alaska and he loved it He loved to hide And hang out with his sister, Sili He always had to check everything out He loved water- especially running water 2 years ago we moved to a new house. He HATED car rides He went crazy over pot roast Picture my brother took last November More coming.... Edited April 21, 2010 by Wonder Quote Kari and the pups.Run free sweet Hana 9/21/08-9/12/10.

Wonder Posted April 21, 2010 Author Share Posted April 21, 2010 Yesterday took him out in the garden to roam a bit (he was not an outdoor cat) Watching the water Hanging out in the garden one last time today He used to always wait until I was done in the shower and then jump in. This was his last time in the shower yesterday Sparks watching over him last night Snuggling with Lucky last night He loved to lay in the grass- took him out one last time today He was my official "greyhound safe" cat and kept over 30 hounds in line over the years Sparks was scared to death of him at first. If Sparks even looked his direction, Mel would race across the room and smack him across the snout! Mikey wasn't 100% cat safe but Mel gave him a what for and he learned his lesson He was always so nosy Some times he had to sit on them to get them to behave The final picture I took of him today. His sister Sili is buried right there and he's now next to her I'm now catless for the first time in 17 years. I still can't believe it. I don't plan on getting another cat but am so grateful for the 2 wonderful cats that I did have for so many years. Thanks for looking at all my pic, sorry there's so many but he was my first fur kid Thank you Foley Blvd Animal Hospital for the wonderful care we got today. They really made it bearable. I already miss him like crazy Quote Kari and the pups.Run free sweet Hana 9/21/08-9/12/10.

PrairieProf Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I am so very, very sorry. Mel looks like a wonderful kitty. He was obviously happy and loved and enjoying his life to the very end. He looks so much like my cat Carey, who's also getting on in years. I'm so sorry, too, that you're catless ... I could never live without a cat.
