幸运喵星人:洗衣机水洗50分钟幸存

2013-09-02来源:每日邮报

A tiny kitten has been nursed back to health after climbing into a washing machine and surviving a 50-minute cycle at 50℃.
一只小猫爬进洗衣机,在水温50度被洗50分钟的情况下竟幸存下来。目前小猫已经恢复了健康。

Poppet, the miracle moggy, came out in the wash after hiding in the laundry when owner Laura Gilhome's back was turned. After clambering in among the dirty washing, the seven-week-old found herself stuck in a full cycle, rendering her little body unconscious.
这只“神奇猫”名叫波比,它趁着主人劳拉·吉尔赫姆转身之际,从藏身的衣物中爬进了洗衣机。只有7周大的它在脏衣服中爬来爬去,很快它意识到自己被困在了一个封闭的地方,天旋地转中它失去了意识。

幸运喵星人:洗衣机水洗50分钟幸存

Ms Gilholme said:'I only realised what had happened when the wash had finished and I’d opened the door. She was unconscious and my neighbour tried to do mouth to mouth but then we rushed her to the vets. There was no response from her and we really thought she had died.'
吉尔赫姆夫人说:"当衣服洗完,我打开洗衣机门的时候我才意识到发生了什么。波比当时已经昏迷了,我的邻居尝试着对它进行人工呼吸,接着我们又立刻将它送到兽医那进行抢救。但是那时它没有任何的反应,我们真的以为它已经死了。"

But vet John Gunn, in nearby Denton, managed to revive Poppet's limp body and helped nurse her back to health.
然而附近丹顿兽医院的约翰·甘恩医生成功地挽救了波比的生命,并且精心照料它使它恢复了健康。

And despite being reunited with Ms Gilholme and her six-year-old daughter Megan, the mischievous kitten showed she has not learned her lesson, jumping straight back into the washer-dryer when she made it home.
尽管重新和主人吉尔赫姆女士和她六岁女儿梅根相聚,这只淘气的小猫似乎并没有从这次事情中吸取教训。这不当它一回到家,它又直接跳进了烘洗机。

Vet Mr Gunn said Poppet was an 'incredibly lucky cat'. 'I really didn’t think she had a hope,' he said.
'兽医甘恩先生称波比实在是一只“幸运猫”。“我当时也认为它活不下来了” 他说道。

'I live above the surgery so stayed up with her through the night and kept her in for an extra 48 hours and she was soon eating me out of house and home. I think she’s definitely used up one of her nine lives.
“我就住在门诊室的楼上,所以我看护了它一整晚,并且将它留下来观察了两天。它恢复得很快,都快把我吃穷了。人们都说猫有九条命,我想它肯定已经用了一条了。”
