 A cats charity is raising money for one of its felines 2 to have gender 3 reassignment surgery, after vets 5 realised that it was both male and female.


有一家英国猫咪慈善机构正在筹款,目的是为一只喵星人做性别手术,因为他们发现这只喵星人既是雌性又是雄性的。
The unusual feline 1, named Angel by volunteers at Friends of the Cats' Accrington branch, is a hermaphrodite.
这只不同寻常的猫咪雌雄同体,猫咪之友阿克林顿分部的志愿者给它起了名字:安格尔。
Andy Richards, founder 6 of the charity, which fosters stray and feral cats until new homes can be found, said he has never seen anything like it.
安迪·理查德是猫咪之友该分部的创建者,该慈善机构收养流浪猫和野猫,为它们找到新的家庭。安迪说自己以前从来没看到过类似情况。
英国发现了一只雌雄同体的猫咪
Angel, thought to be around three years old, came to the charity when a friend of Andy's called him to say that a cat had walked into the One Stop Shop on Blackburn Road and refused to leave.
据推测,喵星人安格尔现在大概3岁。安迪的朋友给他打电话,说有一只猫咪走进了布莱克本大街的一站式商店,久久不肯离去。后来这只猫咪才(被送)到了猫咪之友。
Andy, 54, explained: 'Customers kept putting her out but every time the automatic doors opened Angel came back in and sat down.'
54岁的安迪解释说:“每次人们把它赶出去,它都会在自动门开了的时候走回来(坐)蹲在那儿不走。”
When Andy went to pick the cat up, he was confused that he was unable to establish its gender.
当安迪把猫咪接回来的时候,他发现自己搞不清猫咪的性别。
He said: 'I thought I was just being stupid. On taking Angel for a vet 4 check, the vet informed me, after a long examination, that Angel is both male and female.'
他说:“一开始我还以为是自己太笨了认不出它的性别。但当我把猫咪带到兽医那儿去检查的时候,兽医告诉我经过仔细的检查,发现猫咪安格尔既是雄性的又是雌性的。”
Hermaphroditism is caused by a genetic 7 mutation 8 and happens when insufficient 9 testosterone means a foetus' testes do not develop properly, and it grows ovaries.
雌雄同体多由基因突变引起,因睾丸素不足引发。当睾丸素不足的时候,猫咪胚胎的睾丸就不能正常发育,进而长出卵巢。
Little white and tabby Angel now has to undergo treatment to assign a gender, as hermaphrodite cats can have health problems. The operation will cost around ?1,000, which Friends of the Cats will have to raise.
白色带有斑纹的小安格尔,不得不接受手术来确认性别,因为雌雄同体的猫咪可能会出现健康问题。手术需要大概1000英镑,手术费将由猫咪之友筹集。
