幸福的猫咪

    现在很多的家庭都喜欢养一只宠物放在家里，或者陪伴家里的老人，或者将宠物当作自己的孩子来养。这一部分人一定是相当的具有爱心——对动物的关爱。因为动物也是有灵性的。关爱动物，就是关爱人类的好朋友。

   在国外有一只“幸福”的猫咪。她有一对充满爱心的主人。主人对这只猫的呵护可谓是无微不至。下面的文章主要介绍了这只“幸福”的猫和它的主人的故事。如果我们都像他们一样爱护动物，相信就不会有那么多的流浪猫和流浪狗了。

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

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。

　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。

　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。
