因眼睛太大睡覺不合眼 "驚嚇貓"走紅網絡

A kitten has been born with eyes so big he is unable to close them when he sleeps and has a permanently startled expression.

一隻小貓因天生眼睛就太大，所以睡覺的時候都無法閤眼，而且永遠都是一副受驚嚇的表情。

Five-month-old cat Herman lives with his doting owner Shirley in the Danish capital Copenhagen and acts like any other pet.

這隻5個月大的小貓名叫赫爾曼，和它最愛的鏟屎官雪莉生活在丹麥首都哥本哈根，這隻貓看起來跟其它寵物並沒有什麼區別。

However, his massive bulbous eyes are so big that he cannot completely close his eyelids - even when he is sleeping.

但是因爲它的眼睛實在是太大了，導致自己連睡覺的時候都無法閤眼。

However luckily for Shirley, tiny Herman snores, clearly indicating when he's having a snooze.

不過幸運的是，雪莉還可以通過聽小赫爾曼有沒有打鼾來判斷它睡覺與否。

Shirley said: 'The first time I met Herman, he was instantly jumping up on me and decided to sit on my shoulder purring. The choice was easy for me. Even though he was significantly smaller and had that peculiar look, I decided that I had to make sure that he and I would have a fantastic time together.'

雪莉說道：“我第一次見赫爾曼的時候，它一下子就竄到我身上，然後趴在我肩膀上叫着，當時我就很輕鬆的做了決定。儘管它出生時體型明顯比同類小，而且長相也很奇特，但那時候我就決定讓它跟我一起度過美好的時光。”

His owner added: "Herman is always following me from room to room. 'There is literally no privacy left since I got Herman - whether I am sleeping, cooking dinner or even going to the bathroom, Herman is always around.'

雪莉又補充說：“赫爾曼總愛跟着我一個屋子一個屋子的跑。自從有了赫爾曼之後，我真是一點隱私都沒有了--不管我是睡覺、做飯還是上廁所，幹什麼它都得跟着。”

But despite his unique appearance, Herman is like any other kitten and is happiest playing with his favourite shoelace or one of Shirley's shoes.

除了長相特殊，赫爾曼跟別的貓沒什麼區別，它最開心的時光就是擺弄鞋帶或者雪莉的襪子。

The quirky kitten is adored by both his owner and his growing Instagram fan base, which has given him the nickname 'Hermie'.

這隻“驚嚇貓”不僅深受主人喜愛，在Instagram上粉絲也越來越多，他們給它取了個外號叫“小甜餅”。
