The incident happened in the state of Montana, northwestern United States with temperatures ranging from -1 to -8 degrees Celsius, causing the poor boss cat to freeze.
It was ironic that a cat named Fluffy (which means “smooth and silky”) was left frozen and immobile. Snow clumps clumped together in her fur, causing her great distress on Thursday, January 31.
Frozen miserably…
The incident happened in the state of Montana with sub-zero temperatures and 40cm of snowfall, not only causing pain and hardship for people but also endangering animals that often run around outdoors, such as dogs and cats.
Luckily, Fluffy was found early and rushed to the Kalispell veterinary clinic. “When Fluffy was brought in, her temperature was so low that it didn’t register on the thermometer, which was as low as 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32 degrees Celsius),” Dr. Jevon Clark told ABC. A cat’s normal body temperature is around 38 degrees Celsius.
After literally “defrosting” Fluffy for 2 hours, the staff covered her with blankets and warmed her up, but her body was still very cold. Only when she was taken to the emergency room did her condition improve. At that time, it was several hours after her owner discovered her, so everyone almost lost hope.
…when I woke up I was still soaked, my fur stuck to my body.
But eventually, Fluffy regained consciousness and gradually recovered. Her story was shared on Facebook by the veterinary office this Tuesday with the message “miraculous survival”. It made people feel warmer during the “polar vortex” – an extreme weather phenomenon that has been raging in the US for many weeks now.
“Frizzled” again
So far, the post about Fluffy has received 5k likes, 4k shares and appeared in many newspapers in the US. People also left many interesting comments:
– It’s a miracle that the cat’s owner found it in time, and the doctors were also very “lucky”. This cat has really used up 1 of its 9 lives.
– Oh my god some boss cats need to stay indoors. Immediately.
– After defrosting, you look much more beautiful. Stop running around, Fluffy.
– I love the story of the vet. Thank you everyone for finding the boss cat Fluffy, she is so beautiful.
