猫咪在被领养数小时后救了主人一命

据《 绿湾新闻公报》报道,一只新收养的猫咪在本月初回报了主人的爱心,在被带回家几个小时后,就救了主人于一场医疗紧急情况之中

2月8日,艾米·荣格和她的儿子伊桑来到位于威斯康星州斯特金湾家附近的动物保护协会,想和猫咪们玩耍。然而,一只名叫布丁的21磅重的橙白相间的猫咪却吸引了他们的目光。荣格了解到,这只性格温顺的猫咪自2003年以来就一直在收容所里进进出出,于是她一时冲动,决定收养它和它的朋友温西。

荣格说,猫咪们一到新家就很快适应了。但仅仅几个小时后,荣格一家原本愉快的一天就急转直下。艾米·荣格(Amy Jung)从小就患有糖尿病,上床睡觉后不久,她在睡梦中突发糖尿病癫痫。

这时,布丁立刻行动起来。这只行动迅速的猫咪坐在荣格的胸口,试图叫醒她。见这招不管用,它就用鼻子拱她、轻轻咬她的脸,直到她短暂地恢复了意识。

那一刻,荣格呼唤着儿子伊森,但他却听不见。幸好,布丁冲进伊森的房间,扑到床上,直到他醒来并能呼救。

荣格告诉《 新闻公报》 ,她相信如果没有布丁,她熬不过那一夜——她的医生们也认同这一观点。布丁现在正在注册成为一只治疗动物,它已经学会了坐在荣格的脚边,并在感觉到她血糖过低时喵喵叫。

据报道,狗能感知到即将发生的癫痫发作,但猫的这种行为却非常罕见。一些医生在接受 BBC 采访时表示,这只猫曾预言一家养老院里有多人死亡

2007年,一只名叫奥斯卡的猫登上新闻头条,因为它“预言”了养老院里25位病人的死亡——它在病人去世前都会对他们表达爱意。动物心理学家罗杰·穆格福德表示,虽然猫确实能够感知疾病,但它们比狗少得多,因为它们比较内向。

“狗非常善于察觉情绪变化,当人们情绪低落、意志消沉时,它们能很好地安慰这些人。大象也表现出同样的利他倾向,但猫则不然,它们是更加自私、独居的动物,”他说。

然而,近年来,猫咪在不少救援故事中扮演了英雄角色。2011年5月,亚特兰大人道协会报道了一只猫咪的故事,这只猫能够提前几分钟预测它19岁主人的癫痫发作。

2011年7月, 宾夕法尼亚州一只猫咪用爪子轻轻拍打着感到身体不适的主人,促使她重视病情并及时就医,最终挽救了她的生命。主人后来得知自己突发心脏病。

I have never had a selfish or solitary cat. If people gave cats the same attention they do dogs, I have no doubt the bond and affection would be the same.

other species have sharper sensing ability in many areas. This is a fact we arrogantly refuse to accept and treat them as if they are dead meat. What a shame. They way we treat other species is a clear indication that Darwin as all wrong about evolution.

Not that I don't believe that animals can't sense things but I do believe the writer took a little liberty with the story. "The fast-acting feline sat on Jung's chest in an attempt to wake her up and when that didn't work, he nudged and nipped her face until she briefly returned to consciousness." How does the writer know the cat sat on her chest and that the sitting didn't wake the lady? Did the cat tell the writer? I don't know who made the assumption, the lady or the writer, but it would be nice if the writer or the editor had clarified that before the story was sent to press.

Well, we are in the world that cats or dogs don't talk.
We use these stories to tell children. So are we children or it has got other meanings?
People these days can abuse you in indirect way.
How do you want us to trust you when you said a cat talked to the BBC.
Or you want little glory......thanks for making us smile
