In a recent conversation with @xander6464 - we were discussing how cats seem to "know" things and how sometimes cats seem to act as healers.
And sure enough - I found this uplifting, cute story.
An elderly man, recovering from surgery at home takes a nap. His wife goes out and leaves the door ajar - only to be woken up cuddling with a cat. The catch? They couple do not have a cat. A stray must have known that the man needed some comfort.
In the most adorable way, they are even "holding hand/paw" in the photo taken before they woke the man up.
So best wishes to the man in his recovering and I really do hope that they now I have a cat or cats :-)

Animals may not be able to speak our language, but they always seem to be able to sense when something is wrong with us. Now, a story is going viral that reminds all of us that animals can tell when humans are going through something. An elderly man from N

@FayeHazel It’s beautiful. Animals sense things we can’t. They are so much smarter than people give them credit for.

I heard about this story--and it is heart-warming! Do you know that people who have pets tend to live longer and happier lives?? I think it is just that I have to get out and walk my dog several times a day---but he is a sweetie, so I don't mind!

@FayeHazel I do! I know that dogs can smell disease in a human long before a diagnosis is given

Now that is one of the sweetest stories I have heard for a long time. Yes I do believe animals are natural healers.

@FayeHazel Yes, spot on. If I remember right it is from the Elizabethan maggi, which referred a scruff. Cats have always struck me as rather tidy!
