Mel

January 27, 2010

Carmen says: Mel was my kitten and the most beautiful "gatita" I've seen in my life. Sadly she was killed by a dog. But I will never forget her. I took so many photographs, since she was so photogenic. She is my avatar now on Flickr. ;)

She's perfect! Such big, sweet eyes. Poor little Mel. At least she wasn't lacking in any love.

I feel your pain. You are absolutely right, though...She truly was one of the most photogenic kittehs I have ever seen. Her memory will comfort you with the knowledge that she was well and truly loved!! I am a firm believer that we WILL be reunited with our animal friends in heaven...after all, we are ALL creatures of GOD.

Oh, I wish I didn't know her fate... but she was truly a gorgeous, sweet kitten and you obviously loved her. A very sad, sad loss.

Wow, what beautiful pictures of a precious little angel, Mel. It's clear you loved her very much. What a beautiful little girl she was. So sad to hear her fate. It pains me that she's not running around or being cuddled anymore.
a very sad loss indeed.

Aw, what a beautiful little girl... so sad that she is no longer here with us. I strongly believe that she is in Heaven now, but I can imagine how much you must miss her.

There IS a Rainbow Bridge and you WILL be reunited with your beautiful little fluffball. Mel will never forget, neither will you. BEAUTIFUL photos of a precious baby!

So sweet but such a short life. If anyone has a cat, they should be in house cats and not allowed out; results are always deadly because of dogs or other animals or cars. Keep your cats indoors please.

Reg - 2 years ago

Ohhhh...beautiful sweetheart! You will love her forever. (And you are a wonderful photographer.)

Grace - 2 years ago

Such a beautiful baby, I'm so sorry you lost her. Her story makes me hug my Blue Angel a little closer this morning, I would be lost without her!

I am so sorry to hear that Mel was so cruely taken from you. One of my cats was killed by a retriever many years ago. She had been with me for 14 years. I never let my cats go outside anymore. People may think that's cruel, but once you see how easy it is for a dog to kill a cat you never forget it. Peace be with you and Mel.
P. S. Your photography is splendid.

these photos are astounding!! Losing her in that way is heartbreaking. I have had 'outside' cats all my life, and NEVER lost one to a dog or a car. I guess it makes a difference where ya live...Peace to Mel.

Oh my god... :( That makes me so sad... I hope the little sweety didn't suffer. She didn't deserve to pass that way, but I guess some things are out of our control. But it's clear that you LOVED her to the fullest and I commend you on that. :D

Mel looks so stoic in this picture! She looks so proud that you're taking her picture :) I too had a dog kill my cats. I never forget their friendship & affection that they gave to me. Memories are very dear.
