A kitten has been born with eyes so big he is unable to close them when he sleeps and has a permanently startled expression.
一只小猫因天生眼睛就太大,所以睡觉的时候都无法合眼,而且永远都是一副受惊吓的表情。
Five-month-old cat Herman lives with his doting owner Shirley in the Danish capital Copenhagen and acts like any other pet.
这只5个月大的小猫名叫赫尔曼,和它最爱的铲屎官雪莉生活在丹麦首都哥本哈根,这只猫看起来跟其它宠物并没有什么区别。
However, his massive bulbous eyes are so big that he cannot completely close his eyelids - even when he is sleeping.
但是因为它的眼睛实在是太大了,导致自己连睡觉的时候都无法合眼。
However luckily for Shirley, tiny Herman snores, clearly indicating when he's having a snooze.
不过幸运的是,雪莉还可以通过听小赫尔曼有没有打鼾来判断它睡觉与否。
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.'
雪莉说道:“我第一次见赫尔曼的时候,它一下子就窜到我身上,然后趴在我肩膀上叫着,当时我就很轻松的做了决定。尽管它出生时体型明显比同类小,而且长相也很奇特,但那时候我就决定让它跟我一起度过美好的时光。”
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.'
雪莉又补充说:“赫尔曼总爱跟着我一个屋子一个屋子的跑。自从有了赫尔曼之后,我真是一点隐私都没有了--不管我是睡觉、做饭还是上厕所,干什么它都得跟着。”
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.
除了长相特殊,赫尔曼跟别的猫没什么区别,它最开心的时光就是摆弄鞋带或者雪莉的袜子。
The quirky kitten is adored by both his owner and his growing Instagram fan base, which has given him the nickname 'Hermie'.
这只“惊吓猫”不仅深受主人喜爱,在Instagram上粉丝也越来越多,他们给它取了个外号叫“小甜饼”。
