An overprotective cat has unleashed1 fury on seven unsuspecting pitbulls out for a walk.
在散步的路上,一只保护欲过度的猫咪将怒火撒向了七只不知情的斗犬。
The 16-year-old pet named Baby attacked the feisty dogs as they strolled past the front of the cat's home last Monday in British Columbia, Canada.
上周一,在加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省,这只名叫Baby、16岁的猫咪攻击了几只在其家门口漫步的吵闹小狗。
Betty Jean Thompson, who owns the stereotype-breaking scratcher, said she tried to warn the walkers not to bring their dogs too close.
这只打破成见的挠人者的主人贝蒂·简·汤普森表示,她尝试提醒散步者不要让他们的狗离得太近。
'Our cat, being very protective, picked herself up and started walking that way,' Ms Thompson told CTV Vancouver. 'So I yelled, "Get those dogs out of here, I have a cat!"'
“我们家的猫保护欲很强,当时她爬了起来,在马路上开始散步,”汤普森女士告诉记者。“所以我大喊,“狗狗们快跑,我家猫来啦!”
But the warning came too late, and moments later Baby was flying through the air with her claws extended, aiming for Javiera Rodriguez's pitbull, Bandita.
然而,这一警告已经太迟了,不大一会,Baby从空中跃过,把利爪伸向贾维拉·罗德里格兹的斗犬班地塔。
Rodriguez said the cat immediately latched2 onto her dog's face, clawing at her eyes and mouth. She also posted pictures on social media showing the damage done to her beloved pooch.
Rodriguez表示,这只猫迅速抓住了狗狗的脸,还划伤了她的眼睛跟嘴巴。她还在社交媒体上发布了自己心爱的狗狗遭受伤害的图片。
Massive red scratches covered Bandita's face, with the damage so bad she had to be taken to the vet3.
班地塔的脸上有很多红色的抓痕,之后她不得不被送往兽医诊所。
One of the other women walking her dogs, Kyla Grover, was hurt while trying to break up the cross-species brawl4. She had to go to hospital after being bitten and scratched on her hand by the ferocious5 feline6.
凯拉·格罗弗,另一个带着狗狗散步的女人,为了分开两边的打斗也受了伤。在她的手被凶残的猫咪又咬又抓之后,她也不得不去了医院。
'I spent the whole night at emergency because cat bites are nasty,' Grover told the Vancouver Sun.
格罗弗接受《温哥华太阳报》采访时表示:“我整个晚上都在急诊室,因为猫咬得很严重。”
Thompson and her husband, Del, paid the $222 vet bill for Bandita and covered Grover's hospital costs.
最终,汤普森和丈夫给受伤的班地塔赔偿了222美元,还承担了格罗弗的医药费。
