Purr-fect cure for sick animals

A black cat returns to a veterinary clinic which saved his life and now helps other animals recover - by hugging them.

Radamenes, a tomcat in Bydgoszcz, Poland, survived a serious upper respiratory infection before his owner considered euthanasia. The vet chose to nurse the sick feline who later turned out to be a helper himself by hugging other sick animals at the clinic.

Now the clinic's fulltime "nurse", Radamenes went viral in cyber space. Have a look at the photos published by TVN Meteo, a local news website:
