They died 10 years ago but I still miss them and think of them everyday. Sweepy died from kidney failure and it was heartbreaking to watch her final days. It was so bad that her back legs were so swollen that she couldn't walk very far without having to lie down. She was 16 years old. Sooty died a year later from old age. She was 17 years old. My parents had got the cats together on the same day and Sweepy accidentally bit a tiny chunk of Sooty's ear off a week later when they were playing but they were the best of friend and ALWAYS slept beside one another every night. Sooty was so lost without Sweepy and was constanty trying to find her. I know that they are together now.
I will upload a picture soon, I need to scan one in.
