　　We're all heard of fat cats, but Sprinkles here may be America's weightiest –tipping the scales at an more than a shocking TWO STONE。我们都听说过肥猫，但是这只名叫斯普林克斯的猫咪可能是全美最肥的——它的体重比惊人的两块大石头还要重。

　　The domestic shorthair has a typically tiny frame and should weigh between 11 and 13 pounds。家养短毛猫应该是典型的小型猫，原本体重该在11~13磅之间的。

　　But poor Sprinkles is a mammoth 32 pounds - the same as the average four-year-old boy。但是可怜的斯普林克斯是只重达32磅的庞然大物——相当于4岁孩子的平均体重。

　　The fat feline is now on the road to recovery after being placed on a strict diet and exercise regime by staff at SOS Sea Isle City Cats in New Jersey, US。这肥猫如今在美国新泽西州海岛城猫急救中心工作人员的监督下，严格控制饮食减肥并遵循锻炼计划，走上恢复(瘦子)之路。

　　Her primary caregiver Stacy Olandt, revealed: “This is an obscenely overweight cat, she could not walk when we got her and she is still unable to roll over。它的首席饲养员史戴西·奥兰德透露：“这只猫太重了额，我们刚养她的时候她都不能走路，现在她还是不能翻身。”

　　“This isn’t just a pudgy cat –this is a medical issue, overweight cat。“这已经不只是一只矮胖的猫了——这是一个事关超重肥猫的医疗问题。”

　　“Our vet has been in practice for more than 40 years and he has never seen such a fat cat. “Sprinkles was found in a foreclosed house before she was taken to New Jersey animal shelter who sent her to SOS。“我们的兽医工作了40多年，从来没有见过这么肥的猫，”在被美国新泽西州动物收容所送到急救中心之前，斯普林克斯是在一个拍卖屋里被发现的。

　　“We didn’t know anything about her owners,”added Stacy。“我们不知道它的主人是谁，”史戴西再次说道。

　　“I think it’s pretty clear that they didn’t know how to properly take care of a cat。“但是我觉得很明显他们不知道要怎么照顾好猫咪。”

　　Sprinkles' massive weight has led to other health complications for the four year old.4岁的斯普林克斯因为太过肥胖已经导致了很多其他的并发症。

　　Stacy, who is 71, added: “When we first got her she had fleas and ear mites. 71岁的史戴西补充道：“我们第一次见它的时候，它身上还有跳蚤跟耳疥虫。”

　　“She has the typical problems of a very overweight human, her joints are compromised, her heart is being stressed and she is simply not very mobile。”“它有着很典型的像人类那样的肥胖问题，它的关节都受到连累，它的心脏受压太重，并且很难移动。”

　　“We are now hoping that she will get adopted into a home where she can become the centre of attention。”“如今我们希望有人家能收养她关爱她。”
