I was asleep in bed, about 2am, when Spider (My cat) came into the bedroom, placed his mouth by my ear, and Miaowed, LOUDLY. I woke up, suddenly, and not too happily! I tried to push him away, but he repeated himself, then stood up and walked to the end of the bed, and looked back at me. When I tried to lie down, he came back, caught my hand in his mouth, and gently, but firmly, pulled me towards the door. Eventually I gave up, and got out of bed, as he ran to the bedroom door, paused, looked back at me, and waited until I followed him.
我正在牀上睡覺，大概凌晨2點時Spider（我的貓）走進臥室，把嘴放在我耳邊，很大聲地喵了一聲。我突然驚醒了心裏很不痛快！我使勁把他推走，但他又叫了一聲，站起身走到牀尾，回頭看看我。我想躺下他又回來了，用嘴咬着我的手，輕輕地堅持要拉我朝着門走，最後我放棄抵抗下牀了，他跑到臥室門口時又停下回頭看我，等着我跟上他。
Eventually, he got me to the French doors in the living room, where he sat, looking at me and then at the light switch, until I turned the light on to illuminate the patio outside. There his baby kitty sister was sitting, in the rain, not coming into the house. I called her, but she just looked at me, until I opened the door, and picked her up. Although she was purring madly, her leg was swinging oddly, and it was obviously badly broken. I pushed her gently into a basket, pulled my clothes on, and called for a taxi to take me to the emergency vet.
最後他帶我走到客廳落地玻璃門那兒，他坐下看看我又看看燈的開關，我打開燈照亮了外面的院子，他的小貓妹妹正坐在雨裏不進來。我叫她，她只是看着我，我打開門把她抱起來。她瘋狂地叫着，腿晃得很奇怪，很明顯受了重傷。我輕輕把她放進籃子裏，穿上衣服，叫了一輛出租車就去看獸醫急診。
Without his intervention, she would have been stuck outside for at least another five hours, in the pouring rain, badly injured. The vet said that, without prompt attention, she may well have been dead by morning. Spider had saved her from, at best, considerable pain and suffering, at worst, a painful and cold, wet death. It took considerable surgical skill to save her leg, but without him, she may well not have had that chance. He was a lovely cat; He died aged 18 of acute kidney failure, and I miss him a lot!
要是沒有Spider來叫我，她帶着重傷在外面大雨中至少還得被困5個小時。獸醫說要不是及時發現，到早上她可能就死了。往好了說，Spider救了她讓她免受太大的痛苦；往嚴重了說，就是讓她免於痛苦、寒冷、溼透着死去。救她的腿需要一定的手術技巧，但要是沒有他，她可能連手術的機會都沒有。他是一隻可愛的貓，18歲時死於急性腎衰竭，我很想他！
