洗衣機裏的小貓靠牛仔褲獲救

There is a saying often said: "Curiosity killed the cat." But the British one is only 8-week-old kitten has told us what is exceptional. 有句諺語常道：“好奇心害死貓。”但英國一隻僅8周大的小貓卻告訴了我們什麼是例外。

A little 8 week old kitten called Princess went on an adventure in her home in Aberdeen on Friday night when her owner wasn’t looking, only to be found in the washing machine an hour later after being stuck on a spin cycle. 俗話說貓有九命，這隻名爲“公主”的小貓，週五晚上在蘇格蘭阿伯丁居住的主人蘇珊 戈登的新家時一定用掉了它的九條命之一。它趁主人不注意，跳進了洗衣機“探索”（主人隨後毫不知情地關上了洗衣機門按下了注水鍵）。最後被發現時已經在洗衣機中“被洗”了一個小時。

Susan Gorden, her owner from Aberdeen, assumed she was playing elsewhere in the house until the wash finished and her husband opened the door to find Princess. 這隻貓的主人蘇珊 戈登，來自阿伯丁。直到洗衣機停止運轉，她的丈夫打開門尋找“公主”之前，一直以爲它在房子的其他地方玩耍。

She was soaked through,lethargic, shivering and clinging onto her wet jeans. Princess was taken straight to the local Vets and Susan trying to dry and comfort her as much as she could on the way.之後，蘇珊驚訝地發現它的寶貝貓咪居然在洗衣機裏——全身溼透，處於昏迷，渾身顫抖着緊緊地抱着一條牛仔褲。蘇珊趕緊把小貓從洗衣機裏解救出來，送它去了寵物醫院急救，一路上儘可能地把小貓的身體弄乾，讓她舒服一些。

Judy Drysdale was the veterinary surgeon on duty at the Vets Now clinic at Ardene House at the time, and said she arrived shaken up, cold, and suffered a nose bleed and sore eyes. 朱迪 德斯戴爾是寵物醫院那天的當班獸醫，她說，“公主”被送來時全身都在顫抖，一邊抖，鼻子一邊流血，眼睛也受了傷。

Princess initially received oxygen therapy, pain relief and was placed on a heat pad to help bring her body temperature back to normal. 它隨後被送進急救室，輸入氧氣，止痛，醫生用電熱毯裹起來幫助它恢復體溫。

She went on to spend 3 nights at the Vets, and has thankfully now made a full recovery.小貓要在寵物醫院繼續待三個晚上，謝天謝地它現在已經完全恢復了。

Susan said she doesn’t seem to have any long-term fear of the washing machine or laundry since the events, as she continues to chase her sons socks around at home!蘇珊說，發生這個事件之後，她對洗衣機或者洗衣服似乎不會有什麼長期的“陰影”，因爲她要繼續追着滿屋子她兒子的髒襪子跑。（天天有那麼多的衣服要洗，想有陰影也沒時間啊，當媽媽的真的很辛苦啊）
