Hi there, dear visitors of this homepage,

I am “Miracle of Life” a brown Burmese male, who succeeded to be born with help of 1000 guardian angles.

Here is my story and when you have read it right through the end, you will certainly think too that I am

A miracle of the cats’ world – the miracle of Life,

that could only be born with God’s help:

Before I was born, my mummy had babies too. During giving birth she pressed so much, that with her last kitten her uterine prolapsed. That was not all funny for my mum so that my human-mum took her immediately to the vet. My mum was very well looked after and under general anaesthetic the vet put her womb back into place. My mum was shaken like a bag so that the womb was back in its natural position. After that she was x-rayed: wonderful everything was just fine and my mum could go back home.

My mummy recovered completely without any problems and looked very well after my brothers and sisters. Still my human-mum said straight away that my mum should be spayed and that it was definitely her last litter. She was scared that this problem with her womb could rise again.

Everything went fine. When my brothers and sisters were old enough, my human-mum organized a vet appointment for both my mum and dad. Daddy should retire too, since he started to spray, which my human-mum didn’t like at all. Well – that’s life…

Shortly before the appointment for spaying my mum, she started calling again and what happened – my dad and my mum made love immediately… I guess they wanted to really enjoy it for the last time. My human-mum saw it and gave my mum the pill right away and for another 2 days. She wanted to avoid my mum getting pregnant again and that she stopped calling too. Well both had their appointment at the vets already!

Well folks, my human-mum really had not reckoned without her host. Even though my mum got this pill for three days I fought my way through and reached the ovary. That was real hard work-but now that I got there I kept on holding tight!!

The hormones got at me but then eventually after three days life calmed down. The pill’s effect got weaker and I took a deep breath and felt much more comfortable.

Still – it was not long before the next blow to me. My mum and dad were taken to the vets in order to get neutered. Since my mum had a uterine prolapse, the vet intended to operate her completely that meant everything had to be taken out – me too!!!

Oh no – not me!!! I prayed to my God and he immediately sent out his angles. They took my ovary and me under their protection and disappeared.

Yeah!!! We were hiding with the one entire uterine horn and the ovary where I was being in the middle of the cell division. That was just time because suddenly we all were ever so tired. My mum got the general anaesthetics and then we fell asleep.

The vet opened mummy’s tummy and removed 1st part of her womb and one ovary…then they wanted to remove the other side – BUT I was GONE. My guardian angles made me invisible!!!

The vet looked over and over again but could not find me. Even the inner organs of my mum were lifted, but I stayed in my hiding place.

After approx. one hour the vet “closed” my mum again and I stayed were I was - I really did a great job, didn’t I??!! But I can tell you it was about time they stopped; all this general anaesthetic made me almost sick.

When my human-mum came to pick my mother up the vet explained hat he could only find one half of the uterine and one ovary. The explanation he had was that to that point in time when the uterine was put back into place one horn was pushed into the other. My human-mum should watch my mum very well and if in case she should start calling again she would have needed to be operated once again.

My human-mum was very surprised when she heard all this. She was breeding for 14 years but she never heard of something similar before.

At home my mum recovered very quickly. Still my human-mum noticed that my mum got very aggressive towards the other cats, which she’d never done before. That was really bad since I was in the middle of all this trouble. My human-mum was very sad because she did not know why my mum was like that. Normally she was very gentle and now she turned to be ever so peevish.

Three weeks I was in my mummy’s tummy already and nobody had found out yet. My mum was examined once again because my human-mum noticed that the titties of my mum turned dark red. I immediately called for my guardian angles. They came at once and pressed me together as the vet was feeling my mum’s tummy. The angles almost pressed me underneath my mum’s rips so that nobody knew that I was there.

And – what shall I say – I succeeded once again! The vet did not feel me!!! Nobody knew about me but when I can imagine that my mother would have been opened up again and they would have taken me out.

After I was through with all this and the red titties were presumably the hormones I had silence…until –well – I had to fight against the deworming medicine.

My human-mum seriously thought that my mum was not pregnant and now my mum was dewormed against Giardia. God that was terrible and I almost thought that it was my end. This medicine was not for pregnant cats because it is far too strong for us babies.

So I immediately called my guardian angles again, who came at once. During those two days where my mum got this stuff the angles protected me strongly the substance against Giardia did not harm me and I held on tight to my mum’s tummy. My guardian angles were really ever so busy since they helped me staying alive.

Eventually it was over!! I grew slowly but surely. Even now nobody knew anything about me. Only my human-mum said from time to time that if she would know it better she thought that my mum looked somehow pregnant. When my human-mum then started to feel my mum’s tummy again I hid at once in some “corner”…

I grew and my mum got a small tummy. Since my human-mum never felt anything she thought that due to the neutering my mum eventually had put on some weight again.

Only when it was about time for me to be born, my mum did not make any attempt to help me. The contrary happened!! She suddenly allowed all the other cats to nurse at her. Had she forgotten all about me??? I kicked her over and over again but my mum did not seem to be bothered at all. The amniotic liquid was not good anymore either and now it was about time to get out of here. BUT how???

Now my human-mum noticed that my mum was not at all aggressive anymore but cleaned and pampered the other cats that were lying next to her. That was a typical behaviour of a cat that was shortly before giving birth. At least she knew it from other queens before.

She examined my mum once again and found out that she had milk… God – now she got the move on!!!!

Once again my mum was examined thoroughly: this time I did not hide anymore since I wanted to get out of here as soon as possible. The contrary was the case I kicked her so badly with my feet so that my human-mum could find me!!

AND eventually she found me… What a pity that I could not see her face. I am sure she almost fainted, when she felt me. Only now someone found out about me and I was running out of time!

My human-mum noticed that my mum lost yellow greenish slime and that did not have anything to do with bleedings shortly before giving birth. Still since my mum had milk and everything was fine, my human-mum thought that there were another three days left before the birth should take place.

Oh no!!! I needed to get out of here NOW!!! The amniotic liquid clouded in more and more and even the uterine horn started to change its colour!!!

I coped for another two days but then it was too much for me. I couldn’t see anything anymore and my guardian angles tried their very best, that all this did not harm me.

I kicked her again so that my mum eventually got one contraction. But that one must have solved my problem because my mum made some strange noise. My human-mum saw this and realized that something was wrong.

She took my mum and rushed to the vet. They did not loose any time there and made a caesarean section immediately.

When mum’s tummy was opened, they saw the uterine being completely blue. It did not look good at all and with a bad feeling the vet opened the uterine. One could see it clearly: The amniotic liquid was green and it was true that after another two hours in there I would have been dead.

Well my guardian angles protected me right through the end of this pregnancy

and that was 27th July 2004.

The vet grabbed into the open uterine held me and took me out:

I was enormous: about 115 grams and VERY healthy.

.

I was washed and rubbed immediately but due to the anaesthetic I did not breathe. I they put me something onto my tongue and then my lungs opened up. My human-mum looked after me. She rubbed me all the time, gave mouth-to-mouth-breathing and rubbed on and on.

The vet looked after my mum.

Very slowly I eventually woke up and when I moved my front paw and miauwed a bit, my human-mummy began to cry. Oh yes, she was so happy about me being alive and said directly, that she could never ever give me away – since I was heaven’s sent!!

Well – without my guardian angles I would have never survived…this is true…

.

My mum and I were put into the transport box and went home. My human-mum had prepared everything there as if she knew that my mum had a baby in her tummy…then we were put into the nest. For the 1st time I was able to nurse, but then my mum did not want it yet. She was half awake and I must have hurt her with my claws.

So 1st day I was bottle fed – but at least I could sleep warmly next to my mum.

..

.

And of course –since I am the only one – I grow strongly and get terribly spoilt by everybody.

.

I was loved straight away and looked after wonderfully. Our dog Cora always lied in front of the nest and looked after me. My mum did not mind at all she loved it. She knew very well that nothing bad could happen to me since she grew up with Cora herself.

.

Everybody could see that I felt very well.

..

.

All friends of my human-mum were scared when they found out that my mum was getting a baby that fought against all those bad things. I really worked hard getting onto this wonderful world!!!

In the meantime I was nominated to be the mascot of “Katzen-Hotline-Deutschland (www.katzenhotline.de) I am very proud of that and my human-mum too of course.

.

Oh, what I want to mention: now they found out what it was that the vet did not find the other horn of the uterine: Because they put back the uterine when my mum had the prolapse, both horns were torn apart. Then those horns closed themselves again and worked separately. One of the horns slipped away (I am sure that were my guardian angles, because only like that I could survive).

Now my mum is spayed (completely). Well I haven’t got anything against it now!

.

.

In the meantime I do get on very well with my half brothers and sisters and enjoy having wonderful playmates.

.

You know….those humans are funny creatures. First my mum was spayed, so that she could not get any babies anymore and they hoped that even though they only found one uterine horn the neutering was successful. But when they delivered me, nobody thought about this unsuccessful neutering anymore. Everybody was so happy that I was born.

Who understands those humans…???
