【看CP學英文】泰國一名愛貓人士近日分享自己為了治療被真菌感染的貓咪,用薑黃塗抹貓咪後不小心將原先雪白的貓變成亮黃色。網友們看到臉書上的照片後紛紛表示小貓被上了薑黃後,看起來就像真「人」版的皮卡丘,十分可愛。
A Thai cat-lover accidentally turned her cat yellow after she tried to cure its fungal infection with turmeric. The photos published on her Facebook show the poor kitten which now bears a striking resemblance to the Japanese anime character “Pikachu.”
據當地媒體報導,貓咪飼主Thammapa Supamas表示一開始發現雪白色的貓身體上似乎有被感染,採取較為傳統但安全的治療方式,將整隻貓塗抹薑黃以確保沒有遺漏任何有可能遭受感染的部位。
According to local reports, Thammapa Supamas, the cat owner, claimed that she first noticed that her snow-white cat had a fungal infection so she took a more traditional approach to cure the animal by applying turmeric to its entire body.
雖然薑黃富有薑黃素可以消毒、消炎,然而使用過後因其顏色較為鮮豔,容易附著在使用者身上。
Though turmeric contains “Curcumin” which has antioxidant, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties, direct contact turned the animal’s fur yellow-ish.
