史上最离谱的猫咪遮羞物

Some animal lovers enjoy spoiling their pride and joy pets with the wide range of luxury accessory items available on the market.
一些动物控对自己心爱的宠物极尽宠爱，他们给宠物买了形形色色的奢侈配饰。

But some of the unnecessary products veer towards being slightly bizarre and the Twinkle Tush may well be the strangest.
但是一些不实用的产品开始走起了偏怪异路线，而“闪臀”可能是最奇葩的产品。

According to the company's website, Twinkle Tush is a jewel - attached to what appears to be a hairband - that is simply designed to hang from your cat’s tail.
该公司网站显示，“闪臀”是一款珠宝饰品（装饰在类似发圈的东西上），它的设计仅仅是用来遮猫屁股的。

It is said to add ‘bling to your cat’s bum’ and also enables them to 'strut their stuff'.
据说这可以给猫的屁股增添珠光宝气，而且也可以让猫咪卖弄一下自己。

Twinkle Tush say that: 'A bare bottom should never be shown in public,’ and that while your pet feline may seem proud of their behind, they are in fact craving some much needed 'sparkle'.
“闪臀”公司说：“不应该当众光着屁股，而且当你家的猫咪看似对自己的屁股自豪时，它们实际上是在渴望一些非常必要的亮点。”

The product retails at $5.99 on the website but there is also a prominent note that states that the accessory is in fact a 'gag-gift'.
这款产品的网络零售价是5.99美元，但是旁边醒目的字提醒人们这件饰品实际上是“恶作剧礼物”。

In the Twinkle Tush advert, a grey cat named Vladimir models the product around a house – climbing on the furniture and running up a set of stairs.
在“闪臀”广告中，“模特”是一只叫弗拉基米尔的灰猫，它一会儿爬爬家具，一会儿跑上楼梯，在房子里展示这款产品。

Since being posted to YouTube, the video has been viewed of 400,000 times and has received a number of mixed reviews.
