Added Details: While I realize that melting is a simple change of phase, if a rat's tail were to melt, and say it was made up of x mols carbon, y mols oxygen, etc., the liquid phase would still contain the same elements and amounts of them, just in another phase. You'd still have the basic ingredients of a rat's tail, but it would no longer be a rat's tail.

No. Melting is changing state. Ice melts to water, but both are the same element, H2O. Atail could fall off, dry up, be eaten, be steped upon. It could no more melt than your finger could. or you hair for that matter.
