Man recovering from surgery wakes up to cat snuggling him. He doesn't own a cat.
Sometimes a good snuggle is the best medicine.
Andrew Falloon's father was fresh out of an operation when he was visited by a surprise guest. After his wife went out, leaving the door slightly ajar, Mr. Falloon was found sound asleep with a cat resting on him. Mr. Falloon does not own a cat.

While they still don't know where the cat came from, they're glad it came at the right time.
"I’m just happy Dad’s on the mend," Andrew tells Mashable via email, adding, "and if the photo made a few people smile that’s nice too." He says it's been viewed over 16 million times so far.
And there's no place better than Twitter to post about a random cat snuggle experience. The picture and its tender story have garnered a lot of reactions, obviously.

Don't expect Andrew's father to start cat blogging any time soon, though. He says his father isn't the biggest cat person to begin with. Plus, he's not prepared to tweet.
"Now I need to explain to Dad what Twitter is," Andrew joked.
