Yeah, when Charly was 5 or so, he had a buildup of crystals in his bladder, and they had to remove his BEEP. so he didn't have his BEEP *or* his BEEP! 
He could hold his bladder though. SOMETIMES he would 'leek' [img]smile.gif[/img] when he streched or I picked him up to fast, but other than that, he did fine!!
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.[/QUOTE]the night before we heard the results of his biopsy t.c. said goodbye. he stopped at my daughters bedroom door and meowed at her, then he laid on my bed and waited for me. the next day very early int he mornign we got the call. my parents left up to me if i wanted him euthanized that day or the next, i chose that day because i would never be ready for it, so he might as well have not suffered. i wrapped him in my baby blanket (i have a pic of him laying on it in the sun, he loved anything that smelled like me) and i napped with him on the couch, i held him soooo tight.... i held him when they put the needle ina nd i carried him all the way home. we buried him under my maple tree, beside our dog. i wrote a poem about it, i won;t type it here but if you know how to get to the ouap it's there int he poems section, gotta find it. it still makes me cry too. he was my baby kitty. i always told him he wasn't allowed to leave me. he was my best friend and sweetest kitty. when the church i grew up in told me he wouldn't go to heaven i tried to teach him religion so that he would be there for me. silly, huh? i had him from the time i was two. he barely knew justice before he left, but i know he is still with me, i dream about him.
i am so happy ziroc, i feel like i've made a connection with you, few ppl can inderstand the devotion i had to him and the pain i still go through 4 years later. his death anniversary is on april 9th. it will be a hard day for me.
i thought that no one had a clear explanation of purring...i'd like to hear it! dexter purrs a lot, real loud, he likes to do it before attacking. sometimes while attacking. i chose him at the spca because justi was two at the time and when she picked him up and squeezed him he stayed purring, so i thought he was purrfect! i guess i was right, we all love him.
