我們推出《寶貝寵物》雜誌才幾個月，它現在已經成為城中話題，感謝你們所有的支持！在我們的第三期雜誌裡，我們準備了一些各種動物最激動人心的故事，希望你們會喜歡閱讀這些故事。我們有Jean Scott分享她養育“Jewel”的經驗。 Jewel是一隻有驚人魅力的比利時黑毛牧羊狗，牠迷住了牠遇到的每一個人，從動物到成人（包括路上的幾個孩子）。當Jewel合資格成為狗治療師後，牠的社交技巧將用於造福所有人——探訪長者和殘疾人，令他們臉上展現笑容，並敞開他們的心扉。關於狗，我們來看看逸園賽狗會格力犬的困境。據報該犬從澳大利亞的進口下降是個好消息，但仍然有很多格力犬在承受苦難，我們將繼續提高人們對此事的認識，盡我們所能來幫助這些辛苦工作的狗隻。澳門其他辛勤工作的動物中有錦鯉魚。牠們是澳門自來水公司最勤奮的員工，終日無休（24/7）地工作，以確保我們的飲用水質量達到可絕對安全飲用標準。仔細看看整個動物萬花筒，翻到我們“寵物俱樂部的故事”——澳門沒有一處有這麼多種多樣的動物生活得如此接近，如此和諧！從毛茸茸的貓到有鱗的爬行動物，這家寵物商店裡的動物得到很好的照顧，而且是一個快樂大家庭的一部分。我們都喜歡零食，動物也一樣，尤其是在牠們辛勤工作後。在“寵物廚房”欄目，我們為你準備了一個特殊的烹飪食譜，為你的狗做出最美味的生日蛋糕，我敢肯定這個蛋糕很快會被吃掉！ It’s only been a few months since we launched our magazine and it’s now become the talk of the town, thank you for all the support!

In our third edition we have exciting stories on a variety of animals that you are going to love reading about.

We have Jean Scott sharing her experience of raising “Jewel”, a Belgian Tervuren with amazing

charisma, captivating everyone she meets from animals to adults (and a few children along the way). Jewel’s social skills will be used to the benefit of all when she qualifies as a therapy dog, visiting the elderly and the disabled to put a smile on their faces and open their hearts.

Staying with dogs, we look at the plight of the greyhounds at the Canidrome. There is good news

with a reported decline in dog imports from Australia, however there are still many suffering and we will continue to raise awareness to this cause and do all we can to help these hard working dogs.

Fifi 、Bibi水中探險你能想像一個很專心、很準時、很警覺並總是為公司每天24小時、一年365天盡忠職守的員工嗎？你可能會認為這是不可能的，但在我們這塊土地上我們發現兩個最令人印象深刻的員工。啊！確切地說，在我們的水域。

澳門自來水公司專題 Macao Water special

The underwater adventures of Fifi and Bibi Imagine the ideal employee, dedicated, always on time, always alert and always performing for the company 24 hours a day, 365 days a year… you may think this is impossible, but we found the two most impressive employees in our land. Well, in our water, to be precise...

Pets & Hugs • November 2013

一個古老的偏見說，如果你是美麗的，你就能力不足。曾經為澳門自來水公司工作的Fif i 和Bibi（兩條最令人驚歎的錦鯉魚）再次證明了這只是假話而已。牠們超過10 年保持警惕，檢查原水的質量。同時，牠們鮮豔的色彩和優雅的游泳動作令周圍的地方變成美麗的景點。 Fifi和Bibi於1999年12月21日（澳門剛回歸祖國）開始成為澳門自來水的員工。原水和飲用水的質量由該公司的工作人員檢查。他們每天收集水樣本檢查以確保安全。此外，在原水抽水過程中，珠海和澳門的專業人士監測原水水質。F if i和 Bibi享受原水的同時幫助仔細檢查其質量。牠們是獨特的水生動物檢查員，給予水質量一份額外保證。畢竟，誰可比魚對水質絲毫的改變感覺更敏銳？

An old wives tale says that if you are beautiful you can’t be competent.

Fifi and Bibi, the two most amazing koi fish that have ever worked for Macao Water, have proven how

false that statement is. For over ten years they have been constantly

alert, checking the quality of the

raw water. And, at the same time,

making their environment a place of

beauty, thanks to their bright colours and stylish swimming moves.

Fifi and Bibi started working as

Macao Water employees on 21

December 1999, right after Macau’s handover to China. The quality of

raw and potable water is observed by company staff members every day, through the collection of water samples and checking

the raw water, but at the same time help to double check its

quality. They are unique aquatic

inspectors, giving extra assurance as to the water’s quality. After

all, who better than a fish to feel the slightest change in water?

Bibi和Fifi三年後已經成熟，足以顯示牠們的性別。Bibi的頭部和身體較大而Fifi的身形苗條。這意味著Bibi是男性而Fifi 是女性。牠們在戀愛？從來沒有人見過牠們親吻對方（當然啊！牠們要謹守崗位），但多年來牠們相處得這麼好，極有可能牠們是一對夫婦，一對非常幸福的夫婦。這對夫妻擔任獨特的檢查員，但也可作為觀賞魚。他們住在澳門自來水公司的中央控制室，幫助大家創造一個舒適的工作環境。牠們明顯的才華甚至令老闆決定讓牠們成為電影明星。牠們被拍攝及變為動畫人物，在企業宣傳片中播放，牠們在片中介紹公司以及水處理過程。牠們也加強了節約用水的信息，在看過該錄像的孩子中極受歡迎。 Fifi和Bibi為澳門自來水工作至 2012年，公司通知說，因為年事已高牠們“已經去了天堂”。牠們紮紮實實的工作為所有員工留下一個榜樣，包括那些來取代牠們的魚。在錄像（和紀念品）中，“小水點家庭”將繼續前輩們的流行表演。現在魚缸裡的任務落入五條新的錦鯉“鰭”中。牠們將繼續Fifi和 Bibi的工作，為澳門自來水雙重檢查水的質量。

When Bibi and Fifi reached three years of age, they had matured

enough to show their gender. Bibi’s head and body were bigger, and Fifi had a slim figure. This means

Bibi was male and Fifi was female.

Were they in love? No one had ever seen them kissing (of course! They need to guard their position), but as they got along so well over so

many years, they were considered a couple. A very happy couple. This couple worked as unique

inspectors, but also as ornamental

fish. They lived in the central control room of Macao Water, helping

to create a comfortable working

environment for everyone around. Their talent was so exemplary that

Macao Water decided to make them movie stars. They were filmed and

transformed into animated characters, shown in a corporate video, where they introduced the company as well as the water treatment

process. They also promoted the water conservation message,

becoming highly popular among children who watched the video.

Fifi and Bibi worked for Macao Water

until 2012, when it was reported that they “had gone to heaven”, due to

their advanced age. Their solid work

remains an example for all employees, including those that came to replace them. In the videos (and souvenirs), the Little Water Droplet family will

continue their predecessors’ popular performances. In the fish tank, the mission now lay in the fins of five

new koi fish. They keep the work of Fifi and Bibi alive, double checking the quality of Macau’s water.

Five star work

五星級工作現在五條新的錦鯉繼續Fifi和Bibi開啟的優秀工作。該公司認為魚缸足夠放多過兩條魚，現在的水質檢查更加富有色彩。幾名新監察員的名字與中國五個經典行星元素有關：金星(金) 、木星(木)、水星(水)、火星(火）和土星(土)。牠們一起游泳時很好看，創造了一個舒適的工作環境。

The company thought that the fish tank was big enough to have more than just two fish, and now the five new water quality inspectors are even more colourful.

The new employees have been named after the planets associated with Chinese elements: Venus (Metal), Jupiter (Wood), Mercury

(Water), Mars (Fire) and Saturn (Earth). They look great swimming

together, contributing to a comfortable working environment.

在幾種不同類型的魚中，錦鯉是一種非常流行的選擇。由於牠們適應力強、容易照顧，牠們不需要一個完美的生活環境。例如，牠們吃原水中的海藻及微生物，這意味著牠們不需要餵食——錦鯉喜愛原水且能夠自給自足。澳門自來水公司視所有錦鯉魚如家人，並堅信每個人都應該好好照顧自己的寵物。“我們為牠們提供一個美好的生活環境，就像我們為澳門居民提供高質量和安全的水。兩者都是重要的，不能被忽略。”

Among the many different types of fish, koi are a very popular choice. Because of their strong adaptability they don’t need a perfect living

environment , and they are easy to take care of. For instance, they eat

seaweed as well as microorganisms in the raw water, which means they don’t need to be fed – koi fish love raw water and are self-sufficient.

Macao Water treats their koi fish like family members and strongly believe that everyone should take good care of their pets. “We provide them

with a nice living environment just like we provide Macau residents with good quality, safe water. Both are important and can’t be neglected.”

光纖寬頻有乜好？

Why we use Fiber Broadband? ■ 達 250Mbps 的傳輸速度：更高速頻寬，傳輸量大。

Superior speed: Speeds of up to 250 Mbps allow faster surfing and greater volumes of data exchange.

■ 傳輸穩定性高、安全性強：因光纖的玻璃是非金屬材料，傳送過程不受電磁干擾，故傳輸時更為穩定及保密性較強。

Enhanced stability and security: The use of non-metallic optical fiber cables ensures that

data transmission is free from any electromagnetic disturbances, resulting in a much more stable and secure connection.

■ 無限用量、無擔憂：服務計劃提供一個主賬戶及兩個附屬賬戶，可於家中及全澳多個 CTM Wi-Fi熱點同時暢遊互聯網。 Unlimited usage gives you total peace of mind: Each of our Fiber Broadband service

狗的品種

Dog breed

於其作為葡萄牙漁民助手的輝煌歷史，有人說葡萄牙水犬一半是狗，一半是魚。牠們不僅將魚趕入網，也潛水並尋回從船上跌入水中的東西；牠們在船與船之間傳遞消息，守衛船隻並在港口執行捕捉工作。在現代捕魚方法被採用前，牠們一直是全體船隊一個不可分割的組成部分；20世紀初這種犬種幾乎絕種。多虧了一名20世紀30年代富裕的葡萄牙商人，這種罕見的犬種才存活至今。 Vasco Bensaude從葡萄牙沿岸的漁民中尋找僅存的葡萄牙水犬並開始一個繁殖計劃，使這種犬種得以延續。葡萄牙水犬充滿活力和智慧，牠們不適合不愛活動的狗主。牠們需要大量的身體運動和精神刺激以免感到無聊。牠們可以生活在公寓裡，只要牠們的主人每天帶牠們出去做一些輕快的運動，否則牠們在室內獨處時可能會變得有破壞性。牠們的被毛因為沒有底毛而呈波浪形或捲曲，牠們不會脫皮因此不會患過敏症。然而，牠們確實需要經常梳毛以免打結及清除污垢。牠們被親切地稱作“Porties”，當歡迎別人、或當食物煮熟時，牠們有一個顯著特點——興奮地站立及用後腿跳躍。對於這些有強烈意願的狗，狗主需要維護自己的領導地位。這些滿懷柔情、喜歡玩樂、聰明、精力充沛及忠誠的犬種很容易訓練；同時牠們具警惕性和保護性，而不具侵略性，因此成為優秀的護衛犬。因為Bo和Sunny（兩隻都是黑色葡萄牙水犬，Bo有時尚的白色斑紋）来到美國總統貝拉克•奧巴馬家（沒有加重他女兒的過敏），最近“Porties”變得聲名大噪。

上述相遇不到一年後，Lola 出現了。“得到Lola是個有趣的故事。當Moon 9個月大的時候，我決定替她絕育。我們找到一家非常好的獸醫醫院，便帶她去。我把 M o o n 遞給獸醫後，其中一位護士要向我介紹他們醫院內的動物庇護所，我當然去了。”在庇護所裏，大約有14隻貓，有大有小，Lo l a是其中之一。 “我知道我丈夫喜歡寵物，但他不太喜歡在公寓裏養動物。我幾乎已經將Moon強加在他身上，所以要養第二隻貓會是一個更大的挑戰。當 Moo n在動手術時，我先回家。我告訴丈夫，Moon手術後很難送她回家。所以，我請求他幫忙，他答應了。我們到達醫院，Moon的手術非常順利。帶著Moon時，我告訴丈夫，我很想向他介紹那庇護所，因為那裏有些小貓，他同意而事也成了 ...他作為我親愛的丈夫，不需太多說服便將Lola帶回家。” 有趣的尾巴

Maggie的每隻貓都有很鮮明的特點。 “我特別喜歡 M o o n的聰明，她很清楚知道如何利用她那可愛的臉，去獲取她想要的東西。她也是一個很優秀的獵人，冷靜 24

而自信 — — 沒有一隻蒼蠅可在我們家中逗留超過五分鐘。她知道如何迫近獵物，何時出擊，而她並不需要第二击。” 而Lola怎樣？ “她有點笨拙。我喜愛Lola友善的性格，她就是一個甜美可親的毛毛球。” 兩隻貓有些共同點，比如都相當活躍。 “每天早上和傍晚，Moon和 Lola都會在整個寓所內作例行的追逐和格鬥遊戲（一路上會造成些破壞）。但 M o o n尤其喜愛追逐鐳射紅點。為了那紅點，她完全瘋了，她竭盡全力去抓住它。她就是如此投入，你可以令她去任何你想她去的地方。讓貓全速奔跑，在光滑木地板上拐彎，你一定會捧腹。” Lola不太容易抓到鐳射點，但她的習慣帶会給她一些不必要的意外。 “她喜歡潛入浴缸，追逐她的尾巴。有趣的是，當她還沒意識到浴缸已註滿水，她就直接跳進去。”

Lola isn’t that easy to get with the laser, but her habits can bring her some unwanted surprises. “She likes to sneak into the bathtub

貓的故事

Cat Tale

優雅的Moon

“Moon現在三歲零兩個月。她是一隻非常優雅和冷靜的貓，並把自己當作屋裏的女皇——只有當她高興時，才來找我們，當然還有她索取食物時。” 滑稽的Lola

“Lola現在兩歲半。她是一隻不活躍而有趣的貓。她愛喵喵叫（用她那半沙啞的嗓子），每天早晨，她來到我跟前，用她的臉擦我的手指或腳趾，同時發出可愛的咕嚕咕嚕聲。”

Elegant Moon “Moon is three years and two months old. She is a very elegant and

cool cat that sees herself as a queen in the house – she only comes to us when she wants to, and of course when she is asking for food.”

Funny Lola “Lola is two years and six months old. She is a sticky and funny one. She loves to meow (with her half broken voice), every morning she comes to me and rubs her face against my fingers or toes with a lovely purr.”

幫助與關心

Maggie對動物權益非常熱心，並大力提倡領養動物。“寵物是生命，你需要尊重和照顧他們。當你決定領養一隻寵物時，他們成為你的責任。你的任務是關心他們，供養他們，讓他們快樂。此外，對寵物的來源要非常謹慎，有時挽救需要幫助的寵物，比去店鋪購買最美麗的寵物更好。重申一次，他們是生命，而不是商品。我這樣說的另一個原因是，有些店主沒有道德，很少關顧動物，而且不假思索地虐待他們。每一隻被出售的動物背後有很多同類在惡劣的環境下死去。所以，當你得到一隻寵物時，確保你沒有貢獻那些骯髒的勾當，而是真正幫助了動物。”

Help and care Maggie is very passionate about animal rights and a strong advocate of adoption. “Pets are living beings, you need to respect them and

take care of them. When you decide to adopt one, they become your

responsibility. Your duty is to care for them, provide for them and make them happy. Also, be very wary of the origin of the pet, sometimes it

is better to save a pet that needs your help rather than to go and buy

the most beautiful pet in a shop; once again they are living beings and not commercial commodities. Another reason I say this is that some

shops with no ethics and little regard for animals do not hesitate to treat them badly. For every one that gets sold a number of others have to die in very sad conditions. So when you get a pet, make sure you are not

contributing to a dirty business, but that you are actually helping animals.”

於澳門最擁擠街區之一的一家獨特商店，勢必會引起你的注意。從美麗的小貓到充滿異國情調的蛇 — — 寵物俱樂部會滿足你所有的喜好。過去十年這個家庭式經營的生意在澳門建立了信譽，當他們開始創業時本地的寵物文化相對較小。但從那時起，寵物俱樂部不但激發了道德觀和價值觀，而且也為澳門帶來了一種新寵物文化。寵物俱樂部的店主之一的 Aida解釋說，他們剛開業時，每天光顧商店的客人不到10 人，特別是在非典期間。現在客人情況比以前好多了。較大的家庭群體與他們的孩子週末光臨本店，家長向他們的孩子解釋動物並不可怕，反而是忠實的夥伴。她又說，能夠經營一個像這樣的店舖是有趣的，因為它本身不但是一門生意，而且也充滿樂趣。當有人進入商店，Aida通常可以從他們的個性看出究竟他們會更喜歡什麼類型的動物。她解釋說：如果客人初見面時是比較活潑的，他們通常會選擇狗。如果是較文靜的，他們會選擇“貓”，或者在更極端的情況下——選擇爬蟲類動物。起初當她了解這種模式後，她甚至開始注意到更多細節，例如，寵物配件的顏色往往會反映客戶的個性。我們也會為流落街頭的貓貓尋找領養者 .我們會先帶她們到獸醫處檢查身體確保健康 ,再靜養一段時間...... 在我們心目中沒有名種與不名種 ,貓其實只分兩種 ,野貓和家猫。前者是在大自然生活的，後者是我們常見的美國短毛貓 ,英國短毛猫等和東方短毛猫(即我們說的唐貓)。

寵物俱樂部認為，飼養他們自己的動物是他們做過的最好決定之一。首先，因為他們可以確保為這些寵物提供一流的衛生條件，而不是依靠外部資源。其次，繁殖的地方位於寵物俱樂部以外一塊大面積地方，那里為相關動物提供了一個更加寧靜和舒服的環境。他們的動物中5 0 - 6 0％由Aida與她丈夫Lewi s（寵物俱樂部另一店主）繁殖。 Lewis入這行時13 歲，現在他38歲— —從蛇、龜到蜥蜴和兩棲類，他已繁殖出多種爬蟲類動物。他解釋說，他喜歡一步一步提高自己的繁殖技術；目前他在繁殖蟒蛇，也許明年這個時候，他會開始繁殖其他爬虫及兩棲類動物。這些蛇最初從加拿大或歐美進口——這是一個漫長的旅程，需要一至兩個月左右。由於一些蛇是二級受保護種類，把牠們合法和安全地帶到澳門需要大量的文書工作。蛇實際經歷的飛行時間是36小時（從加拿大經台北到澳門），蛇的價格約在100澳門元至50,000澳門元不等。 Aida負責繁殖如貓、兔、豚鼠等動物，她說，她花了一段時間了解整個概念，因為動物繁殖涉及基因、顏色和血液類型的匹配。具體以貓來說，通過他們自己進行繁殖，她會陪伴猫媽媽整個分娩過程，從而確保猫媽媽不會過度緊張。 “我們只讓一隻貓一年生產一次，因為我們需要給牠時間休息。在4 - 5歲左右，我們會為牠作身體檢查，看牠是否合適再生育。“當一隻貓不再生育後，寵物俱樂部通常會為牠尋找一個合適的領養家庭，或者如果他們與此貓培養了很深的感情，他們會繼續飼養為伴。 Anita（寵物俱樂部的第三名店主）解釋說，在這類生意中，如果你不考慮你的寵物的生活環境和福祉，你可以很容易地賺錢。她明確指出，錢不是最優先的大事，雖然他們需要每月支付租金和其它費用，他們寶貝寵物 • 2013 年 11月

n one of Macau’s most crowded neighbourhoods lies a distinct

store that is bound to catch your

attention. From beautiful kittens to

exotic snakes – Animals Club caters to all your preferences. The family-run business has been making its mark

in Macau for the past ten years; at a

time when the local pet culture was relatively small. Since then, Animals

Club has not only stimulated people’s morals and values, but it has also

brought a new pet culture to Macau. Aida Airosa, one of the owners of

Animals Club, explains that when

they first started, less than ten people

would frequent the shop per day, now there are much more customers than

before. During weekends larger groups of families with their children visit

the shop, parents explaining to their

children that animals are not a threat,

and are instead loyal partners. She also says that it’s interesting to be able to

run a shop like this, because not only is

it a business on its own, but it is also fun. When someone enters the store, Aida can usually tell from their personality what type of animal they will prefer.

She explains: If the customer is rather lively, they will usually opt for dogs.

If the customer is reserved, they will

choose cats, or in more extreme cases

– reptiles. Initially when she understood this pattern, she began to notice even more details; for example, the colours of the pet’s accessories would often reflect the customer’s personalities.

They will also look for people to adopt street cats. First they take the cats

to the vet for a check-up to ensure

they are healthy and then let them stay and rest for some time. Here

there are no famous or non-famous breeds, in fact, there are only two

types of cats, feral cats and domestic cats. The former is live in nature, the latter are the common American

Shorthair Cats, British Shorthair Cats

and Oriental Shorthair Cats (i.e., what is normally called Mongrel Cat).

Animals Club believes that breeding their own animals is one of the best decisions they ever made. Firstly

because they can ensure top notch Pets & Hugs • November 2013

quality and health conditions for the pets, rather than relying on outside

sources. Secondly, the space where breeding takes place is a large area outside Animals Club, which gives the respective animals a more

peaceful and relaxed environment.

Over half of their animals are bred by

Aida and her husband Lewis Lee, one

of Animals Club’s other owners. Lewis entered this business when he was

13, and now at 38 – he has bred many

reptile species, from snakes, turtles, to lizards and amphibians. He explains

that he likes to do things step by step to be able to improve his breeding

technique; he is currently breeding

boa constrictors, and maybe this time next year, he will start breeding other reptiles. The snakes are originally

imported from Canada or the US and

Europe and it’s a lengthy process that takes around one to two months. As some of the snakes are classified as

protected species, a lot of paperwork is involved to securely and legally bring them to Macau. The actual

flight time that the snakes undergo

is 36 hours from Canada via Taipei to Macau, and the snake’s prices vary

from around MOP 100 to MOP 50,000. Aida is the one in charge of breeding animals such as cats, rabbits, guinea

pigs and so forth. She says that it took her a while to understand the whole concept, because breeding animals requires the matching of genetics,

colours and blood types. Referring to cats specifically, by carrying out their own breeding, she will accompany the mother cat during the whole

delivery process to ensure she is not

over strained. “We only let a cat give

birth once a year, as we need to give her space to rest. At around four to

five years of age, we will examine her condition to see whether she should retire from giving birth.” When a cat

retires, Animals Club usually will find

an appropriate family to adopt her, or

if they develop a strong bond with the cat, they often keep it for themselves. Anita Lai, the third owner of Animals Club, explains that in this sort of

business you can easily make money if

還是會給他們的動物一個更大及更舒適的生活環境。寵物俱樂部認為，“如果寵物幫助我們做生意，我們一定要更加善待她們。” 要在這個行業工作，需要三年左右的工作經驗去掌握如何照顧寵物的基本知識，而澳門的問題是人手不足。如今，大多數人寧可在賭場工作，賺“快” 錢，而不願把時間花在寵物行業。寵物俱樂部認為自己是幸運的，因為作為一個家庭經營的生意，大家都各自盡力，各司其職令其成功。作為寵物愛好者，Aida、Lewis和Anita有許多動物在自己家中跑來跑去，他們真心相信寵物可以打開人的心扉，他們很高興地得知澳門現在有了一本屬於自己的寵物雜誌——這本雜誌可以進一步教育大眾，增強澳門的動物意識。澳門人，如果你醉心於看到可愛的小貓喵喵叫，兔子到處蹦跳，或蛇在你面前的一個玻璃魚缸內發出嘶嘶聲，前往兩家寵物俱樂部商店中的任何一家吧——你不會失望的。 30

對寵物最危險的食物 The most hazardous foods for your pets

們都愛吃，就如蕭伯納所說，“ 沒有愛勝於對食物的愛”。我們的寵物也愛吃，有的比別的吃得多一些，而且不僅局限愛吃自己碗裏的。你肯定難以拒絕你的狗那深褐色情深款款的眼睛，或你的貓那綠色帶點高傲和懇求的眼睛看著你準備或享用晚餐。然而，寵物主人應該知道，偶爾用零食款待寵物即時看不出問題，但隨著時間過去，某些食物是有害的，而且對你的寵物很危險。下面這個食物清單需要留意。列表並不詳盡，但它包含了一些最常見的錯誤而造成最嚴重的傷害。

e all love to eat, and as George Bernard Shaw said, “There

is no sincerer love than the love

of food”. Our pets also love to eat, some more than others, and not

only limited to what’s in their bowl. It’s definitely hard to resist your

dog’s soulful deep brown eyes, or

your cat’s supercilious yet imploring, green eyes looking up at you as

you prepare or eat dinner. However, pet owners should be aware that the odd treat now and then may not make a difference right now,

but over time some foods can be harmful and quite dangerous for

your pet. Below is a list of foods to

watch out for. The list is not by any

means exhaustive, however it does

contain some of the most common culprits that do the most damage.

• 酒精 • 酪梨（牛油果) • 巧克力 • 咖啡 • 葡萄和葡萄乾 • 澳洲堅果 • 牛奶和乳製品 • 洋蔥、大蒜、韭菜 • 生或未煮熟的肉和骨頭 • 生或未煮熟的蛋 • 發酵麵團 •鹽 • 木糖醇（在許多口香糖、糖果和烘焙食品中的人造甜味劑）

• Alcohol • Avocado • Chocolate • Coffee • Grapes & Raisins • Macadamia Nuts • Milk and Milk Products • Onion/Garlic/Chives • Raw/Undercooked Meat and Bones • Raw/Undercooked Eggs • Raw Yeast Dough • Salt • Xylitol

1. Remove your turtle from his tank and place him in a temporary container with water and a dry standing place, like a rock.

2. Take out any filters, substrate, rocks and decorative items from the tank.

4. 注入小半箱溫水，並加入一滴洗潔精。

You can also add a dash of sea salt to kill any remaining bacteria.

11. Put your turtle back into his new home and reward his patience with a tasty treat. He will be most grateful.

from the moment we met in the park to the parting of ways later that evening, Jewel was charm

into contact with her, from nervous children to overexcited puppies, she calmly interacted with all,

is a trait shared by all the dogs Jean has ever owned. The

intelligence of the Belgian

Tervuren breed is perfectly suited to the entrepreneur’s lifestyle, “I need a dog that learns and pays attention”, she explains. With a background in retail,

entrepreneur Jean Scott came

to Macau from the USA in 2007,

opening eyewear stores as part of The Venetian Macao complex, a

successful venture where on the

very first day she simultaneously

opened four stores. Today Jean has two shops under her own name, one at The Venetian and one at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore.

From business to pleasure, travel is a big part of Jean’s life and it was important to her to find a

dog that could keep up with her

lifestyle. She travelled to the USA to collect Jewel from a breeder in Connecticut when she was

almost three months old, “it took her about five minutes to decide

that I was ok, and it has been love at first sight from that day on.”

As a baby Jewel “was a dream”,

travelling all over the USA during the first six weeks that Jean

had her. The first weekend they spent together was in upstate

New York, Hudson Valley, an arty

community where they wandered around into all the little shops

and knowing that she will not

be in Macau for that period of time made it easier to take on that level of commitment.

Belgian Tervurens need a job, as Jean explains, and in an

apartment in Macau Jewel has

given herself the task of making

her toys hard to reach by pushing them deep under the sofa,

something she demonstrates

as we sit and talk. Carrying her toys from her box she pushed

them under the sofa, as far away

into the black abyss left behind. and as I work from home my

office is just in the next room.

I’ll know she’s playing and then there will be the whimpers,

and after a while she’ll come

in and pester me until I come

and get out whatever toy she can’t reach”, Jean laughs.

As the office is at home Jewel

is surrounded by people all day

long as Jean’s administrator and

helper are around, and deliveries

come and go at least twice a day. Within all this activity Jewel has

her own routine that she follows, knowing full well that she’s not allowed to go to the door. Her

instructions are to sit and wait. Early risers, Jean and Jewel

head out for an hour every morning, Taipa Grande is

Jewel’s favourite, she loves

the steps and would climb it

“three times if she had her way”, Jean jokes, and they do the

trail at the top at least once,

sometimes twice, time allowing. Early evening they have their second big walk of the day

(Jewel goes on shorter walks

throughout the day) and one

of her favourite things is to go sit outside in old Taipa, at the Old Taipa Tavern and watch

the kids on bicycles speeding

around while Jean enjoys a glass of wine. “God forbid someone

is sitting at our table when we arrive” Jean laughs, as Jewel

“will literally ask them to move.” There is another more profound

aspect to Jewel’s social side that

Jean is slowly starting to develop over time. When she is old

enough, Jean would like to use her as a therapy dog to spend

time with children, elderly and

handicapped people in homes,

offering them love and comfort. Jean feels that most people

can relate to animals and often people in those circumstances

Interview to elderly people. Jewel needs

to feel comfortable and be ready for everything from having her tail pulled to being touched

in the mouth area, something dogs are not instinctively at

ease with, but something that children are likely to try.

All Jewel’s socializing means that

grooming is something that gets taken seriously; she has a weekly bath and her teeth are brushed twice a week with chicken-

flavoured toothpaste. High-

maintenance, she gets brushed for ten minutes every morning and

Jean’s helper jokes that Jewel is her

“job security” as she sheds so much hair around the apartment. Jewel’s

extensive wardrobe includes about six leashes, ten collars and around twenty bandanas- she never

leaves the house without one.

Jewel does her part to keep in

shape too. Days that are either

too hot or rainy to go outside do not mean exercise is sacrificedJewel does not make excuses.

The treadmill in the apartment

直到Jewel大約是三歲半或四歲時，牠才能非常有效地做一些事情。但要做“狗治療師” ，重要的是在年輕時開始訓練牠們，讓牠們習慣各種陌生人（從兒童到老人）接近牠。 Jewel需要感到輕鬆自在，並準備好應付一切——從被扯尾巴到嘴部被觸摸——一些狗本能地不感到自在，但是孩子很可能去嘗試的東西。所有J e w e l 的社交意味著梳理必須認真對待；牠每週沐浴一次，每周用帶雞肉味的牙膏刷牙兩次。 Jewel的梳理要求高，每天早上牠要被梳理10分鐘，Jean的助手開玩笑說，Jewel是她的“工作保障”—— 牠在公寓脫落很多毛髮。 Jewel寬大的衣櫃裡有約六條狗帶、十條項圈和大約二十條領巾 — — 牠離開屋子時總帶上一條。 Jewel也盡其所能保持體形。 Pets & Hugs • November 2013

當外面太熱或逢下雨天，並不意味可以沒有運動——Jewel 不找藉口。公寓裡的跑步機意味著健身活動從來沒有減少，當J ea n發出指令，J ewe l 跳上跑步機上的跑步带，擺好姿勢，身體朝前，鼻子向下，眼睛直視前方。這是一個最有趣的景象。在健身器材上展示了牠的高超技藝後，Jewel仍然有精力向我們展示了一些把戲，如區分她（牠）的左右爪子（比利時黑毛牧羊狗可培養認識一個 12 0至14 0 字、非常廣泛的詞彙表，大多數狗認識大約 4 0 至60字）；在兩個方向上滾來滾去；及擺好姿勢拍無數照片而從來沒有失去冷靜。當我們離開的時候，一直是女主人的Jean和Jewel送我們到電梯，Jewel作為受過良好教育的狗，為我們按下按鈕招來電梯。

牠喜歡去星巴克 She LOVES to go to Starbucks

leaps on the treadmill belt and assumes her position, body

facing forward, nose down and eyes looking straight ahead. It is a most entertaining sight.

After demonstrating her prowess

on the exercise equipment, Jewel don’t have pets and have

never had one, also not having enough people around them to give them attention, she

describes that “there is nothing more wonderful than having an animal to snuggle up to.”

It won’t be something Jewel will

be able to do very effectively until she is about three and a half, to

four years old. But in the case of therapy dogs its important to

Dear Angry,

Dogs chew things for a number of reasons. Puppies chew to

ease their teeth coming in, and older dogs instinctively chew

to maintain good oral health. Dogs can chew out of boredom,

loneliness, anxiety, and hunger. It’s best to buy your dog his own chew toys as well as edible chew toys to amuse him when he’s

alone and make sure you give him plenty of physical exercise and mental stimulation when you are at home. For the time being, put away anything valuable that you don’t want chewed until he learns what he can and cannot do. If you see him chewing

something he shouldn’t, say ‘No’ calmly and gently remove it from his mouth and replace it with something he’s allowed to chew.

護法案

獄入犯罪物體希望動

動物權益保

經過五年時間起草一項動物保護法後，政府突然似乎想快速在今年內將該法案頒布成法律。法案的最新版本（旨在防止動物被殺害和虐待，及如何保護牠們）將對動物虐待者處以高達10萬澳門元罰款，而非先前提出的2,000澳門元。預計將很快實施的這項法律（有更嚴厲的懲罰）聽起來不錯，但本地動物保護團體卻有疑慮，特別是因為該法案不承認虐待動物是一種犯罪行為。澳門保護遺棄動物協會（AAPAM）副主席劉佩珍說，她不知道為什麼政府突然加快程序步伐，僅有罰款不足以阻止人們虐待動物。澳門民政總署（IACM）自2007年以來一直處理動物保護法案，期間僅曾諮詢AAPAM一次。劉指出：“他們沒有就最新版本與我們聯繫，所以我們不知道它涵蓋了什麼或不包括什麼。一點細節都沒有。” 雖然對有關該法案內容所知甚少（除了罰款被提高到10萬澳門元外），劉可能已預視到該法律的無用。劉說：“该法律不會有很大的幫助”，她所属協會已經舉行三次抗議活動要求一部動物保護法— —對虐待動物者判以監禁，類似香港的一樣。 “100,000澳門元對有錢人根本不是甚麼問題，[該法案]實際暗示有銭人殺動物沒關係，”劉說：“只有判以刑事指控才可有效，因為無論你是貧窮還是富有，你將有一個虐待動物的犯罪記錄。” 劉問：“該局表示他們排除了刑事指控，因為這樣的控罪使市民難以接受。這怎麼能是個理由？” 她補充說當局有這種心態，她懷疑該法律將如何能有效執行。 “如果讓警方實施該法律可能更好，因為至少在他們抓住嫌疑人時必須宣佈有關細節，”劉說：“說實話，誰能記得澳門民政總署舉報虐待事件的熱線？只撥打999豈不是更容易嗎？”

Pet Lover

After five years of drafting an animal protection law, the government suddenly seems to be on a fast track to get the bill promulgated into law within the year

he latest version of the bill, which aims to

prevent animals from being killed and abused

and how to protect them, will slap animal abusers with fines reaching 100,000 patacas instead of the previously proposed 2,000 patacas.

A law expected to be implemented soon with a heftier penalty sounds good all round, but local animal

protection groups have doubts, especially since the bill does not recognize animal abuse as a crime.

Abandoned Animals Protection Association of Macau (AAPAM) vice president Lau Pui Chan said she does

not know why the government is speeding up the

process all of a sudden and why only a fine was not enough to deter people from abusing animals.

The Civic and Municipal Affairs Bureau (IACM) has

been handling the animal protection bill since 2007 and has only consulted AAPAM once about it.

“They haven’t contacted us about the latest version

so we don’t know what it covers or what it does not cover. There are no details at all,” Lau pointed out.

Although little is known about the content of the bill,

apart from the fact that it has raised the fine to 100,000

patacas, Lau could already see the uselessness of the law. “The law won’t help a lot,” said Lau, whose

association has staged three protests to call for an animal protection law where animal abusers face a jail term, similar to the one in Hong Kong.

“100,000 patacas means nothing to rich people, [the bill] is simply suggesting that it’s okay for rich people to kill

animals,” Lau said, “This will only work if there is a criminal charge because then whether you are rich or not, you will have a criminal record for abusing an animal.” “The bureau said they ruled out a criminal charge because it’s something that citizens will find

hard to accept. How can this be a reason?” Lau

asked, adding that with this mindset, she doubts how the law will be implemented effectively.

“It’s probably better if the police are implementing

it because at least they have to announce the details

when they catch a suspect,” Lau said, “And to be honest, who remembers IACM’s hotline to report an abuse incident? Wouldn’t it be easier to just dial 999?”

格力犬進口下降終止

Hopes to end dog-racing rise as greyhound i 進口澳門賽狗的數量不斷減少可能是一個跡象——本地賽狗牌照於2015年到期後，其運營將停止。此前媒體援引香港漁農自然護理署的數字表明，今年首8個月，香港進口110只格力犬，比去年同期下降56％。澳門愛護動物協會（Anima）總裁Albano Martins說：“我相信，澳門行政長官將不再為澳門逸園賽狗會（Canidrome）的牌照續約。” Martins指出：“現在我擔心的是，當狗會[賽道]關閉時，他們的狗的去向，”他擔心這些賽狗將被捕殺。上述報告指出，去年逸園賽狗會的所有800隻格力犬通過香港從澳大利亞進口，其中共有378 隻被進口澳門，以取代因被認為在比賽中無利可圖而被捕殺的狗隻。 “我相信低賽狗進口率是澳大利亞政府強制實行的，因他們擔心反對澳門賽狗的國際運動，” Martins說，“他們不覺得他們的狗在澳門得到保護。” 近年來逸園賽狗會（亞洲唯一仍在經營狗賽道的公司）一直受到大量批評，因他們殺害表現欠佳的賽狗，並且沒有努力為他們的格力犬重新安家，而是在格力犬被迫“退休”後捕殺牠們。這個問題已經引起國際動物福利團體的注意，他們已向政府竭力要求終止賽狗。 Martins說，這些動物福利團體將再組織一場新運動，向行政長官崔世安請願，一勞永逸地關閉逸園賽狗會。 Martins 稱：“我一直建議政府把逸園賽狗會改建成有地下停車場的公園（因為該地區人口稠密），或使用該地建設公共房屋——每個人都樂見其成。”

imports dip

The dwindling number of greyhounds being imported to Macau could be a sign that local dog racing will cease operations when its licence runs out in 2015 Previous media reports, citing figures from Hong Kong’s Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department,

showed that 110 greyhounds were imported to Hong Kong in the first eight months of this year, which represents a 56 percent drop from the same period last year. “I’m confident that the Chief Executive will not

renew the Canidrome’s licence,” animal protection society Anima’s president Albano Martins said.

"My concern now is where the dogs will go when

it [racing track] shuts down," Martins pointed out, fearing that the racing dogs will be culled.

The report states that all 800 greyhounds at the

Canidrome are imported from Australia through Hong Kong and a total of 378 dogs were imported to Macau last year to replace dogs that had been put to death because they were deemed unprofitable to race. “I believe the low import rate is imposed by the

Australian government because they are concerned with the international campaign against Macau’s dog racing,” Martins said, “They don’t feel that their dogs in Macau are being protected.”

The Canidrome, which is the only racing track still in

operation in Asia, has been under a great deal of criticism in recent years for killing under-performing dogs and for

making no effort to rehome their greyhounds but instead terminating them when they are forced to "retire".

The issue has caught the attention of international animal welfare groups that have pressed the government to end dog racing.

Martins said that these animal welfare groups will again be organising a new campaign, petitioning Chief Executive Fernando Chui Sai On to close down the Canidrome once and for all.

"I've always suggested the government turn the Canidrome into a park, with an underground car park because that

area is so densely populated, or use the space for public housing, which everyone would prefer," Martins said.

October 21,2013 Dr. Chui Sai On Chief Executive Macau, SAR

China

Dear Dr. Chui Sai On, We are writing to request your urgent attention to the pligh t of greyhounds at Macau’s dog track , the Canidrome. Despite the respectful entreaties of ANIM A Director, Albano Martins, and in complete disregard of inter national calls for change, the track owners have refused to make even the most basic improvements to the treatmen t of the dogs. Letters from the thirteen-member Asia for Animals Coalition, which inclu des the Society for the Preventio n of Cruelty to Animals Hong Kong, IFAW, RSPCA and Humane Society International, as well as separate requests from GREY2K USA Worldwide and Animals Australia have all been ignored. In fact, a visiti ng representative from the RSPC A asked if he could be shown the kennels earlier this year, so as to advise on better humane standards, but he was summarily refused. Both the Macau Times and the South China Morning Post repo rted in 2011 that dogs are killed at the rate of one per day, with dogs arriving monthly from Aust new ralia. Figures recently obtained by the SPCA Hong Kong show the number of imports ranged 290 in 2010, 348 in 2011, and from 378 in 2012. While early indic ations predict a decline for 2013 , this does not change the fact survives the Canidrome. Onc that no dog e their usefulness subsides to injur y or age, there is no safet y net, no adoption program, for these dogs. Over twenty-e and no way out ight thousand people to date have petitioned for the relea se of one dog in particular, a colored greyhound named Broo red brindleklyn. You may read this petit ion and a January 2012 report on the Canidrome at RescueBr The decline of greyhound racin ooklyn.org. g has been ongoing for years, and media outlets have long reported the spiraling collapse of this industry. The most rece nt U.S. figures available from the Association of Racing Com missioners International show that gambling on greyhounds has declined by 67% in the year s 2001-2011. This includes both gambling on live racing and simulcast betting, where bett ors wager remotely on dog race s taking place elsewhere. Not only have humane concerns come to the forefront, but com petition from other forms of gambling has forced track s to close. Since 2001, twenty-se American track s have shut dow ven n operations, cutting the U.S. industry, the birth ground of grey hound racing, in half. Similarly, according to the Econ omist, the United Kingdom has suffered a 20% decline on dog race bookmakers bets just since 2008. A member of the House of Lords, Lord Lipse y, described the industry as spira ling downward since the 1960’s. Equally, the Irish Grey hound Board has relied on gove rnment subsidies to continue . These totaled more than €l1M each year in the last thre e years, according to Houses of the Oireachtas and the Irish Greyhound Board itself. In conclusion, it is our understa nding that the Canidrome has not only been evasive with anim al advocates, but has resisted government direc tives as well . The arrogance of the track owners, coupled with the cont inuing killing of greyhounds at the facility, strongly indicate that it is time for a change. We are grateful for the news that there may be an inquiry into humane conditions, but any delay in closing the Cani drome will only cause more grey houn ds to suffer needlessly. Perhaps the Canidrome can follo w in the footsteps of Wimbled on, one of London’s original dog track s? The facility has recently been sold and its land will soon become a place for parking, housing and commun ity recreational space. We ask that you inter vene in this situation, rescind the Cani drome’s racing license, and mandate the end of dog racing in Macau for good. Respectfully,

Christine A. Dorchak, Esq. President, GREY2K USA Worldwi

《寳貝寵物》關愛所有的動物，從可愛的到那些只有媽媽才會愛的。現在開始的每一期雜誌我們將特別介紹“醜陋動物保護協會”（一個旨在引起大家對那些受威脅動物關注的組織）一位成員。物王國是一個巨大世界，充滿了大自然給予的所有美麗色彩和形狀，魔幻般地變出如下圖景：彩虹色優美的小鳥飛翔在天空，微笑的海豚在海洋中暢泳，毛茸茸的小貓玩著自己的尾巴。然而，這個巨大的王國也是很多很多我們從來沒有聽說過的動物的家。個中原因——說得微妙一點——因为牠們不是很可愛。牠們甚至不好看。我們不要拐彎抹角，牠們是醜陋的。可是，牠們對萬物相連世界的自然秩序的微妙平衡，也是為珍貴和必要的。無論牠們可能看起來是多麼可怕或怪誕，牠們的每一個都是一條生命，因此而值得我們尊重和關懷。鑑於這些在美學觀點上受到挑戰動物所處的困境，一個协会（名为“醜陋動物保護協會”）在英國創立，如他們的網站所稱，因為“熊貓得到太多的關注。” 該協會他們的目的是鼓勵人們參與保育項目，以及挑戰公眾對於瀕臨絕種動物（如大熊貓和紅松鼠）的喜愛。該協會以一個科學主題的喜劇之夜開始，最近又設計了一個尋找吉祥物（“一個媲美許多慈善機構和組織的可愛徽章的吉祥物”）的公共活動。生物學家兼電視節目主持人Simon Watt（醜陋動物保護協會會長）表示，他希望該活動會引大家關注這些怪異和奇妙動物面臨的威脅。 9月12日，他在紐卡斯爾英國科學節宣布獲勝者。看起來脾氣暴躁、膠狀的水滴魚（Blobfish）贏得公眾投票，成為“醜陋動物保護協會”的官方吉祥物，此魚因此獲得世界上最醜動物的非官方頭銜。讓我們來仔細看看“醜陋動物保護協會”的新面孔—— 水滴魚。因贏得近10,000票，牠肯定是非常醜陋。水滴魚不是一個條很長的魚（通常短於30厘米），牠棲

campaign to find a mascot, “one to rival the cute and

cuddly emblems of many

charities and organisations.”

Biologist and TV presenter Simon Watt, president of the Ugly

Animal Preservation Society,

said he hoped the campaign would draw attention to the threats facing these weird and wonderful creatures.

On the 12th of September

he announced the winner at

the British Science Festival in

Newcastle. The grumpy-looking,

gelatinous blobfish won the public vote to become the official mascot of The Ugly Animal Preservation Society, giving it the unofficial title of world's ugliest animal. Let’s take a closer look at the

new face of The Ugly Animal

Preservation Society, the Blobfish. Winning by almost 10,000 votes,

that certainly is a whole lot of ugly. Not a terribly long fish, typically

shorter than 30 cm, the blobfish inhabits the deep waters off

the coasts of mainland Australia and Tasmania, as well as the waters of New Zealand. At

depths between 600 and 1,200

m, they live in conditions where the pressure is several dozen

times higher than at sea level.

In order to maintain buoyancy, the blobfish is primarily a gelatinous mass with a density slightly less than water, allowing it to float

above the sea floor without having to expend too much energy on

swimming. Scientists believe that the fish does not hunt; instead, it

opens its mouth and sucks in little organic particles that drift by. Blobfish are often caught as bycatch in bottom trawling nets, although it is inedible

itself. Scientists now fear the blobfish could become an

endangered species because of deep-ocean trawling. Pets & Hugs • November 2013

他們希望得到你的關愛。你準備好關愛他們了嗎？

They want to love you. Are you ready to love them?

領養動物是幫助牠們的最好方法。這是一種愛的表現，但亦表現了責任。除非你確信你會信守承諾，否則不要冒然行事。領養一隻動物即假定牠會是家庭的一員。牠會是非常特殊的家庭成員，因為牠對你的愛永遠是無條件的。

Adopting an animal is the best way to help them. A gesture of love, but also of responsibility. Please do not undertake this unless you’re sure you want this commitment. To adopt an animal is to assume that they will be a member of the family. And a very special member, because they will always have unconditional love for you.

Why Anima wants the Canídrome to be closed In principle, we could accept that people enjoy seeing beautiful greyhounds racing. Maybe the animals could also enjoy friendly competition for the rabbit. Yes, maybe. But the situation at Macau Canídrome is not as beautiful as that. The way the business is conducted constitutes a risky sport for these animals, especially on a very old track. The latest figures collected from Anima show that today Canídrome has

在澳門公寓內過著奢華的生活，對今天的貓似乎是一種豪華選擇，但像人類一樣，一個安全環境中的清新空氣有利於健康和幸福。與一般看法相反，只要很有耐心、運氣和更多耐心，你可以訓練你的貓，帶著貓帶和貓套與你去公園散步。 Living the high life in Macau apartments seems a luxurious option for cats these days, but like humans, fresh air in a

safe environment, is good for health and happiness. Contrary to popular

belief, and with a lot of patience, luck, and more patience, you can train

your cat to walk on a harness and leash when you go to the park.

第4、5、6天—控制時段

雖然仍處於室內，輕輕拿著貓帶並開始與你的貓漫步，但不要拉！如果他不來，給他一點小吃，然後等待他來找你。如果他還是不動，把小吃放在他面前，當他吃的時候，你走到貓帶的末端。當他追上你時，稱讚並用小吃獎勵他。一次又一次重複上術動作。如果你的貓試圖走向另一個方向，應用溫和但堅定的力度拉緊貓帶。但不要猛拉或用力拉扯，要耐心等待。當你的貓終於走向你時，放鬆貓帶鼓動他，你也可以再給他小吃以示獎勵。重複此步驟，直到你有信心，可以在任何方向指揮你的貓。

Day 1 – Get Supplies

Purchase a harness designed for cats

from a pet store. The leash attachment should be at the back of the harness, not at the neck. Purchase treats for rewarding each bit of progress.

Day 2 – Get your cat used to the harness

Hold the harness and let your cat sniff it. Try putting the harness on your cat and then offer a treat and a lot of praise.

Note: adjust the fit of the harness so you can slip two fingers between

在室內將貓套和貓帶套上你的貓並帶他出外。他很可能會緊張，所以要在一個安靜、隱蔽地點開始，也許在公園裏。起初只是牽著你的貓坐下，當他開始向周圍嗅和探索，便跟著他，當他放鬆而且準備好繼續前進的時候，你便可與你的新步行夥伴向前邁進。

Days 4, 5, & 6 – Time for control

While still indoors, hold the leash gently and start

walking with your cat, but don’t pull! If he doesn’t come, offer a treat and wait for him to come to

you. If he still doesn’t move, drop a treat in front of him and while he eats it, walk to the end of

and again. Apply gentle but firm pressure on the leash if your cat tries to go in another direction. Be sure not to yank or pull hard, just wait

patiently. When your cat finally moves towards

you, he’ll be rewarded by looser tension on the

leash, and you can reward him with another treat.

第3、4天—室內漫步

Repeat this step until you’re confident that

當你的貓可以舒適地帶上貓套時，才可進行這一步。把貓帶扣上貓套，並讓貓帶垂在貓身後面。當貓穿上貓套而貓帶垂在他身後時，跟著你的貓在家中走動。不要指令他到任何地方，只跟隨他並細心觀察，以確保他不被貓帶纏住或被東西卡住。

you can direct your cat in any direction.

Day 7 – Time to take the show on the road

Put the harness and leash on your cat indoors and carry him outside. He’ll most likely be nervous, so start in a quiet, sheltered spot, in a park perhaps,

and just sit with your cat on the leash at first. Start following him as he starts sniffing and exploring and move further with your new walking buddy when he’s relaxed and ready to move on.

補充提示

Additional tips

1.在你們到外面逛之前，確保你的貓已接種最新疫苗。

1. Ensure your cat is up to date on his vaccinations before

2.嘗試設定一個在每天特定時間、有規律性的散步時間表。

2. Try setting a regular walking schedule at a certain time of day.

3.當你的貓哭鬧或纏著你時，不要帶他出去。不理睬他，直到他安靜下來，然後以散步獎勵他的好表現。 4.不要用貓帶把你的貓綁於戶外的東西，然後離開他，哪怕只有片刻。他可能會被貓帶纏住而弄傷自己；若受到狗或其他動物襲擊，你的貓將無法逃脫。

you go outside.

3. Never take him out when he’s crying or pestering you. Ignore him until he’s quiet, then reward his good behavior with a walk.

4. Do not tie your cat’s leash to something outside and leave

him, even if only for a moment. Your cat might get tangled in the leash and hurt himself, and he won’t be able to escape if a dog or other animal approaches.
