I have had a cactus for a little over a year now. It has parts that stick out with fuzz and a fish hook on the end. It is barrel shaped, not very tall, and is in its own pot. A little while ago, it started to curve, and then the newly grown section fell off. I replanted the top part it in a different pot, but I'm not sure what else I should do, and if it will die. How can I save it? Can I prevent this from happening? Thanks.

Cactus plants need a lot of sun and not a lot of water. If your plant is starting to drop off it is easy to plant them again. All you basically do is put them in a pot and allow them to root again. Cactus plants can easily root again as long as they have the right conditions to grow and root in. I cut off pieces of my cactus plants all the time and just put them in a pot. I give them a lot of sun and not so much water. If it rains a lot here, I don't water them again for about a week or so.
It sounds like you are overwatering it. Back off the watering and see if the plant does better
You may be over watering or/and your cactus is not getting enough sunlight.
