During the later stages of my pregnancy I was told that I would be delivering my son earlier and that he would not survive. I listened to his heartbeat all night long on the monitor and by day light the doctors and nurses were telling me to push as I refused. Nature took over and my son was born. He never took a breath.
Once I got home from the hospital I immediately went to his room. When I walked into the room, the first thing I saw was my son’s bassinet and the tears just fell. Then, to my surprise, I saw this little white kitten curled up in a little ball fast asleep in the bassinet.
A few months prior to this my cat had 4 kittens and the one curled up in the baby bed was her little boy kitten who was born deaf.
I lifted him out of the bassinet to carry him out of the baby’s room and noticed that it felt good to hold him in my arms, he was warm and didn’t resist being held at all. I carried him to my room as I was exhausted. I laid with him on the bed and started crying like I had never cried before and I fell asleep. I woke up to realize that this kitten is licking my dried tears. We had a long night that night, but I wasn’t alone and my arms were not empty.
He has followed me every day since.

In the hardest moments of my life I made a friend that would become my rock – Mikey
During my pregnancy I was told that I would be delivering my son earlier and that he would not survive. I delivered him in the hospital not long after. He never took a breath
When I came home, the first thing I saw was my son’s bassinet and the tears just fell. Then I saw this little white kitten sleeping in the bassinet
My cat just had 4 kittens and the one curled up in the bed was her boy kitten who was born deaf
I laid with him on the bed and started crying like I had never cried before and I fell asleep. I woke up to realize that this kitten is licking my dried tears
That moment I knew I had to help him. I spent countless hours researching his deafness as he sat on top of my monitor
I was stepping slowly out of the darkness and with each step I took, Mikey stepped with me
When I look at him, I don’t see a pet, I barely see a cat or an animal. What I see is this beautiful soul who chose to be my friend when I really needed one
I became a photographer because of Mikey’s beautiful face, captivated by his loving heart
Today he is 12 years old, he has become a part of who I am. Our lives now are full of joy and laughter

Aaaaaah you brought tears to my eyes!! Not even joking, I'm typing through blurry vision :) This is beautiful! He looks just like my boy. We rescued him and had him for 2 years. Unfortunately he passed away totally suddenly and without cause. But as another post says, they might be angels. I was so devastated. I have had many cats, and I love them all, but he was really special. And I lost him. I was remarkably devastated for a long time after, and he came to me in a dream, as an angel. Bright beautiful white glowing light, wings and all. He told me that he was only here for a short while, to make my life a little better! Isn't that wild! :) I have never believed that animals are angels in any way, until that dream forced me to. I still don't believe they all are, but some must be. Just like your little guy! Who is an angel to help you through the trauma of losing a baby! How so very sweet. You're also a remarkable person yourself! All the best! <3
JenniferMoore (Post author) 9 years ago
Thank you. One day, Mikey was staring out one of our windows and I was wondering what he was looking at. My then 4 year old Daughter Haley said to me in the most matter fact way "He is watching the Angels fly Mom" and then she said "Cats are the only ones who can see them"

My nephew lives with me and he is 26 and has PTSD and Autism spectrum disorder as do I. If it wasn't for his cat and my 2 cats, I don't think I would have made it this far in life, and I'm sure my nephew wouldn't have either. My cats have seen me through the death of my mother, my father, and my brother plus several friends. I'm sure animals are much, much smarter than we humans give them credit for. I'm so glad that you have your fur baby and that he helped you through a horrible time. Thank you so much for sharing your story (I also lost a baby) with all of us. Blessings to you, Jennifer!!

It was traumatic losing my son but I had time with him afterwards, to hold him to say Hello and Goodbye. It was painful but I would endure it all over again just to hold him one more time... As for Mikey, he has been by my side for 12 years now and though he may not be tall enough for me to lean on, he always seems to hold me up.

He's special, I can feel it. I have three beautiful friends (they are cats, but to me, they're not animals, they are real friends), two boys and 1 girl, and their souls are magical, I know it. They are always with me when I feel blue, or when I've had a bad day, when I want earth to swallow me. But then, they stand next to me, and purr, and touch my arms with their little heads, staring me, and I feel better. As Commentary Fortytwo has said: they're angels.

We all caught anger and he makes it go awat with his beautiful , patient , questioning gaze and velvet ears.

I've got 5 of them & even though I live on my own, I am never alone because of these adorable furry children. They give me a reason to get up in the morning & if there's one thing I am sure of it's that we all grow & evolve spiritually together, which we couldn't do apart.. I love that this gorgeous cat helped someone who was rock bottom & really in need to cope with such a devastating loss.Thank you so much for sharing your story with us <3 <3 <3

Sometimes, it is tragedy that opens our souls to our connection with the other animals with whom we share the planet. When we are aching and vulnerable, we drop the facade of dominance and superiority that too often, too sadly, cuts us off from the rest of the natural world. At those times, a kinship that transcends words and labels can begin to heal us. We develop a serenity and strength that we can draw on the rest of our lives.

beautiful story :) my mother in law has a male cat just like yours (same race - maine koon i think?? - and deaf) His name is Moulan. He is also a macho and a brave cat (he does not stay inside for long, Moulan likes very much to stay outside). He's 7 years this month, and he's great.

The power of pets is amazing. Reading this made me think so much of my cat Spookie, who happens to be the same age as Mikey and even looks a lot like him, except that she's black. She just randomly appeared in the barn on day. Still had blue eyes. We had to feed her with an eye dropper. Grew up with her, my other remaining cat, and two boy cats. Couldn't have asked for better cats. Or pets in general. Had some pretty awesome dogs too. Glad that Mikey found you. He is gorgeous.

She just appeared out of no where one day. This tiny black fluff ball who still had blue eyes. She was that young. She's one of the remaining furry loves of my life. (Lost 5 pets within 4.5 years. Both dogs and my 3 boy cats. Grew up with the cats.)

This profile picture is of my sweet Punkin, a rescue kitten barely able to walk when he was found abandoned by his mama. I had just moved across country after having lost the best friend I ever had. My sweet Huey, a Himalayan flame point I was given because no one wanted him. He live to be 19 years old. I believe he has come back as my Punkin so it seems, as I have raised Punkin from a bottle and she is now 6 years old. I guesswhat I am trying to say is, these sweet, perfect kittens are more to us than sometimes we even know. They get us through thick and thin with such sweet love and affection. I was never able to have children but somehow they have become my center in life. I love my baby kitties :)

I guesswhat I am trying to say is, these sweet, perfect kittens are more to us than sometimes we even know. They get us through thick and thin with such sweet love and affection. I was never able to have children but somehow they have become my center in life. I love my baby kitties :)
