After Losing My Son At Birth This Deaf Kitten Saved Me

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.
