What cats do for their owners and babies amazes so many people

New Jersey (USA) - This cat from New Jersey is not something very special for her owner. The TikTok audience has also been amazed for a few days by a video showing her unusual behavior.

The clip went online a few days ago and has since received around 2.5 million clicks. It shows the mother, sitting in bed with her baby , filming her cat Noel, who comes into the room with a fresh diaper in her mouth.

The velvet paw gallantly jumps onto the bed and places the diaper at her owner's feet. Another scene shows that this is no accident.

This time the cat comes sprinting up the stairs with two diapers in its mouth and places them at the feet of its owner who is filming. What you would expect a dog to do is rather strange for a house cat.

The discussion in the comments column is correspondingly lively. More than 4000 people have added their two cents so far. Some are amused, others are simply thrilled.

But how is it that Noel is doing such a great job helping her family with the baby? Mum Taylor Mickle has now shed some light on the subject in an interview with Newsweek.

"She's always been the sweetest girl and really stepped into her mom role when we brought home our third cat, Ruby," she told US magazine.

The whole thing intensified when Mickle became a mother twice in less than two years. Because one morning there were lots of diapers outside the bedroom door.

"She always looks after my two babies," said the mother of two sons - and added: "She really is the sweetest cat." But it's not just Noel who supports the US-American with her two children.

"All three of my cats have helped me through this time, and each of them has done something special to help me," Mickle enthused.
