泰版皮卡丘竟是牠！貓奴飼主曝變色背後原因

【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.

貓咪的新造型引發網友熱議，許多人紛紛在照片下表示「貓咪真的太像皮卡丘了！」，而熱心的網友也特別為貓咪P圖，使他瞬間成為泰國版皮卡丘。

The cat’s new look has earned the love of netizens, with many drawing comparisons between the poor animal and Pikachu, leading to numerous attempts to transform the cat into a live-version of the Japanese anime.
