Terry Laurmen, 75, never thought he would become an online sensation by napping with shelter cats.

75岁的泰瑞·劳尔曼从没想过自己会因为和收容所里的猫咪一起打瞌睡而成为网络红人。

The photo of him sleeping with cats -- in various positions -- at a pet shelter in Wisconsin has gone viral on the internet, and helped the shelter raise more than $30,000.

泰瑞与威斯康星州一家宠物收容所里的猫咪用不同的姿势一起小睡的照片在网上走红，并帮收容所募集了逾3万美元。

Terry volunteered to brush cats at the Safe Haven¹ Pet Sanctuary² about six months ago.

大约半年前，泰瑞毛遂自荐，帮“避风港宠物收容所”的猫咪梳毛。

But grooming³ 20-30 cats can get exhausting, and the staff began snapping shots of Terry taking his daily siestas⁴ with his furry⁵ friends and shared some of them on the shelter's Facebook page.

但为20-30只猫咪梳毛会令人感到疲惫，工作人员开始拍摄泰瑞每天跟猫咪一起午睡的照片，并将一些照片分享到收容所的脸书主页上。

The retired⁶ Spanish teacher, with no mobile phone or computer, still can not get his head around his new found online fame. But he said he would do anything to raise money for the shelter.

泰瑞是一名退休的西班牙语教师，不用手机和电脑，他对自己成了新晋网红这件事还一头雾水。但他表示，只要能帮收容所筹款，自己愿意做任何事。
