一只貓和一只貓鼬的組合征服了互聯(lián)網(wǎng)

Meerkats (Suricata Suricatta) are naturally wild animals mostly living in the Kalahari or Namibian desert and other regions of Africa. It seems that the last place you’d expect them is somewhere up north where there’s winter and it’s cold, like Russia. This is why this meerkat called Surya is so special as she’s living in the loving home of Ekaterina Kuraeva in St. Petersburg. Surya was adopted from the Moscow zoo and Ekaterina didn’t want the lovely thing to end up as an “office toy”.

貓鼬是自然野生動物，主要生活在卡拉哈里沙漠或納米比亞沙漠和非洲其他地區(qū)。你最不可能想到的地方是北部的某個地方，那里冬天很冷，就像俄羅斯。這就是為什么這個叫Surya的貓鼬如此特別，因為她住在圣彼得堡葉卡捷琳娜·庫拉耶娃充滿愛的家里。蘇莉亞是在莫斯科動物園被收養(yǎng)的，葉卡捷琳娜不希望這個可愛的小東西最后成為“辦公室玩具”。

One could think that there’s not much to do and that it’s pretty boring for a social animal like meerkat who usually live in clans, mobs, and gangs. But Surya is not alone. She has a chunky Chartreux cat named Nice to keep him company. It’s an ironic coincidence that even though they’re not genetically related to cats, they look so feline-like, that they were called meerkat, or mierkat, which in Dutch and Afrikaans respectively mean “lake cat” and “termite cat.”

人們可能會認(rèn)為這沒什么可做的，而且對于貓鼬這樣的群居動物來說，這很無聊，因為它們通常生活在部落、暴民和幫派中。但是Surya并不是一個人。她有一只名叫尼斯的矮胖的查特魯貓陪伴著他。這是一個具有諷刺意味的巧合，盡管它們與貓沒有遺傳關(guān)系，但它們看起來很像貓，所以它們被稱為meerkat，或mierkat，在荷蘭語和阿非利卡語中的意思分別是“湖貓”和“白蟻貓”。

This unlikely yet very lively duo became BFFs 6 years ago when Nice was already 2-years-old at the time and Surya was only a little babe. They clicked from the get-go and they’re inseparable ever since, and their Instagram profile is a testament to this relationship. Surya has a needy and affectionate personality, up to a point that he gets jealous if Ekaterina is giving too much attention to the cat, then he jumps and claws to get Nice away. Nice is much calmer and discrete, yet he’s very happy to oblige when Surya needs some TLC. They spend their time together 24/7 as they cuddle, play, nap and hug each other all the time. As they do it, they make for, arguably, the most adorable photos and videos on the internet.

這對看似不太可能但非?；顫姷慕M合在6年前成為了最好的朋友，當(dāng)時尼斯已經(jīng)2歲了，而蘇莉亞還只是個小寶貝。他們從一開始就形影不離，他們在Instagram上的個人資料就是這種關(guān)系的明證。蘇利亞有一種渴求和深情的性格，以至于如果葉卡捷琳娜太過關(guān)注這只貓，他就會嫉妒，然后他就會跳起來用爪子把貓趕走。Nice要冷靜得多，但當(dāng)Surya需要一些TLC時，他很樂意幫忙。他們一天24小時都在一起，擁抱、玩耍、打盹、擁抱?？梢哉f，這些照片和視頻是互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上最可愛的照片和視頻。
