Charly died of Kidney failure. He was with me since I was in 1st grade. and god... when the Doc said that he wouldn't last a week, I was devastated. I screamed, wailed like a baby  . He was my freaking CHILD!!! I know it sounds silly to many people, but not me [img]smile.gif[/img] I still tear up thinking of the last night I spent with him. I took him home, and we laid on the the bed, I laid him on his favorite blue blanket, and put my arm around him, and told him not to be scared, and stuff, and told him it's ok to go. I hugged him, and he took his last breaths. (god, crying now...) A part of me died with him.
I am very blessed to have Choc. He is as amazing as Charly was.

That's not silly at all. I don't know what I'd do without my little cat - she is like my baby. People might say, well you've never had kids so you don't know how much more you can love them! But then, they don't know how much I love my Tuppence either
One of our old cats had to have his BEEP removed as well
. He lived for many many years after that though, died when he was 17. I was devastated. He came into my room and cried - he'd never done that before. I remember sitting out on the driveway saying goodbye to him and crying my eyes out
On tails, they're just an extension of the backbone AFAIK, so of course they can break.
I think Tuppence must have something wrong with her connections then if purring is primarily if they're feeling pleasure. She NEVER purrs! Occasionally she purrs to wake me up in the morning (otherwise she bites - I prefer the purring
) but when she's getting a cuddle and all snuggly against you, curled up on my lap, nothing.
