A Lonely Girl and Her Familiar

A Familiar Connection

That following summer after Midnight recovered from bobcat fever, they went back to her hometown to spend summer break with her biological mom. That was just the start of all their travels.  When they got there she was so excited to meet her mom for the first time again and to have her baby with her too. She felt like she could breathe.

After she got settled in her and Midnight sat and chilled. He very much enjoyed being an inside outside cat instead of a solid outside cat. 

After that summer they went back for her senior year of high school. Through most of that year she spent every ounce of free time, homework time, and when she had emotional break downs. 

Which happened a lot. Her mom still didn't like midnight and she let Cassie's siblings feed him as often as they wanted. Cassie hated it but she couldn't do much about it. Angela her adoptive sister was the worst. Her sibling always would say stuff like... 

"He is the family cat. Or he isn't yours he is all of ours." 

Poor Cassie she always tried to fight them and not let them get to her but every part of her faught for Midnight. When he had bobcat fever they were going to put him down without letting her know but she overheard them talking and she wouldn't let them. NEVER! 

October 2018 Cassie started self harming. She started cutting her arms at least 100 times a day or more. She starting thinking that life would be better without her but then she would she her Midnight and realize that if she killed herself than he wouldn't make it because her adoptive mom tried drowning him 3 times and tried having I'm put down. 

That was the second time he saved her life unknowingly. Everyday whether she had long sleeves on or not he would rub his head on her left arm to let her know he was always there.

April of that year she was kicked out of the family and disowned so of course he went with her. 

They went through homelessness, traveling from state to state, and finally settling down back in Kansas. About 1 year into being disowned he noticed that Cassie would stop breathing while she slept. He learned that if that happened and if he just put all of his weight on her heart then it would get her breathing regulated again. 

Midnight started to learn a lot about Cassie that he couldn't have possibly learned before due to him being an outside cat. Once he went to being inside/ outside he started to learn that she would overheat super easy so when she would get out of the tub and sit on her bed to dry off he would come up and lick her leg or her arm. If she got too hot he would nip her to tell her so. Same with while in the tub. If he sensed that she was too hot he would get on the edge of the tub and nip her lightly.

Cassie has heart problems and Midnight knows it. When she gets too stressed he can feel it and come up and hugs her to calm her down.  

Midnight and Cassie have a bond like a witch does to their familiar.

Midnight is now 7 years old and weighing in at about 16 lbs. Cassie is self-harm free and has been for 4 years now. They are living life to its fullest. Midnight has PTSD from her mom trying to drown him but They get through ever ounce of fear together. Forever and always.
