会开窗户的猫咪成为“救火英雄”
猫咪一直被认为是非常聪明而且具有灵性的动物,它们上蹿下跳,行动敏捷,而且号称都有“九条命”。
不过,接下来介绍的这只来自英国的猫咪可另有绝招,它居然会自己打开窗户;而且正是因为这一本领,它还成了“救火英雄”。
上周六下午,居住在德文郡的怀特夫妇外出去商场,准备买一些圣诞节需要的东西。但他们离家的时候,却忘记了关上厨房里的微波炉,导致这个被设定了10分钟的微波炉在他们走后不久便着火了。
正在这个危机时刻,聪明的猫猫爬上厨房的灶台,用爪子把窗户的把手扳下,爬出了厨房。
它的这一举动使得家里的浓烟飘到了窗外,引起了周围邻居们的注意,他们连忙叫来了火警,才避免了一场大火。
据怀特夫妇介绍,他们第一次发现猫咪会自己打开窗户,是在一次家庭聚会上。刚开始,它只是每天晚上打开窗户,偷偷溜出去逛一会。但最近几个月来,它的这一“爱好”越来越频繁,也越来越娴熟。
怀特夫妇说,幸亏他们的猫咪有这一绝招,才让邻居们注意到了浓烟,从而挽救了他们价值35万英镑的房子。 |
