一隻年老貓咪的幸福生活:主人爲我造扶梯

英國每日郵報報道，倫敦有對情侶養了只11歲的貓咪“湯姆”，但是湯姆患有關節炎，爬躍能力大爲受限。情侶倆擔心它就此怠於活動，就量身定製了一架旋梯，以便它爬過院子的圍欄去領略外面的世界。有此主人，夫復何求？

Adrienne Ellery's tabby cat Tom has been getting on in years. He's 11-year-old and arthritis has made his joints creaky and his bones tired.

Adrienne Ellery的花貓Tom逐漸老了。它11歲了，患有關節炎，骨頭疲倦。

Like other elderly animals suffering from arthritis, Tom can't jump like he used to and the garden fence that blocks his passage into the wide world beyond the garden proved to be too much for him.

像其他患有關節炎的老了的動物一樣。Tom不能再和過去一樣能跳過花園的柵欄了。花園的柵欄擋住了它通往外面廣闊世界的路，因爲現在它不可能再跨越這道柵欄了。

That's when Ellery's boyfriend, Gareth Bowen decided to build a spiral staircase for the impaired cat which allows him to scale the fence in steps instead of leaping it a single bound like a feline Superman.

Ellery的男友，Gareth Bowen決定給這隻體弱受損的貓咪做一個螺旋的扶梯，這樣它就能順着扶梯一步步翻過柵欄，而不是像過去像一個超人神貓一樣跳躍幾下就能翻過去。

According to Ellery and Bowen, Tom learned how to use to staircase quickly which proves that cats are intelligent – a dog would never figure it out. Tom mounts the stairs daily to exercise and socialize with the neighborhood cats.

Ellery 和Bowen說， Tom 很快就學會怎樣快速地爬過柵欄，證明這隻貓咪還是很聰明的，狗是永遠學不會的。Tom現在每天爬扶梯鍛鍊身體，以及找鄰院的貓咪玩。
