The story of melissa the cat, I have a wonderful cat Melissa who is called the “Einstein” cat. Many times I get asked why I began taking pictures of her. Therefore, today I’m going to share our story of friendship, illness, and my affection for this amazing animal.
After numerous fractures of bones, doctors have diagnosed my cat with the degenerative disorder of the development of bone and cartilage, Osteochondrodysplasia. The vets advised me to kill her due to the fact that the procedure would be expensive and require a lot of time, effort, and energy.
I didn’t want to take the easy path and determined that I would fight to save Melissa’s future. I changed doctors who would not treat her, and I learned how to administer injections myself. I have photos of Melissa to remind people that we need not be depressed even in the most challenging situations.
