But this little kitten was craving affection and company, and perhaps she sensed that Flaty could use a little comfort too.

She spent 20 minutes sleeping in Flaty's lap before getting up and walking away.

The unexpected cuddle session left Flaty feeling better than he had in months.

"I had been on 12-hour shift continuously for like 20 days straight but that cat made all that seem like nothing," Flaty told The Dodo, and said that meeting her was the best moment of his year.

Flaty hasn't seen the little stray since their beautiful moment together, but he's keeping an eye out for her every time he goes on break, and he's deeply thankful for the serenity and comfort she brought him.
