貓咪和二手煙

我們最近給家裡裝了貓圍欄和窗戶都裝上了網,把 R 原來半放養的兩隻貓也都關在了家裡,本來擔心那兩隻會非常不適應,會抑鬱會不高興,結果發現兩隻小傢伙在家裡都過的很好,和後來者 Aslan 也親近了許多。
我們把貓咪都圈養在一起的原因一是希望它們和 Aslan 能夠更熟悉一點,而另一個原因是把 Willow 重新馴養,願意回到家裡。
為什麼呢?

Willow 本來是一隻黏人的小傢伙,她曾經有一個好朋友,只比她大幾個月的鄰居家的貓咪叫 Thya,可惜 Thya 去年冬天死於一場車禍,Willow 似乎非常想念她的夥伴,於是常常跑到鄰居家裡去待著,漸漸地越來越少回家,即使 R 請那位鄰居不要再喂 Willow, 但是她仍然很喜歡待在那裡,甚至越來越不回家,而是在社區裡做野貓,就算我們把她抓回來,她也很不高興,呲牙咧嘴甚至連 R 都不讓親近,這讓 R 非常傷心又頭疼。

而我覺得 Willow 有點瘦,就算她是一直小體型的母貓,也不應該這麼瘦,就算幾個月前 R 才帶她看過獸醫,體檢並沒有什麼問題,我還是覺得她瘦得讓我心疼。

起初我還很愧疚是不是 Aslan 的加入使得她覺得自己的領地被搶走了而不願意回來,但一是我們家空間不小,完全足夠貓咪們各佔一方,另一方面 Willow 從小就生活在多貓環境,她還是一隻比較威風的貓,是院中一霸,所以她不應該害怕 Aslan, 而且這種情況是在 Aslan 來這裡之前就已經出現了,那是為什麼呢?

起初我的分析方向是貓咪對於同伴離世後的悲傷反應,失去同伴的貓咪很可能會在起初幾天出現行為變化,如果沒有見到同伴的屍體(沒有告別儀式),而是突然消失的話,貓咪可能會在第一週出現焦躁的尋找反應,然後改變行為,會到同伴喜歡的地方待著,或者是迴避同伴原來的地盤,這個時間可以持續 2-6 個月,如果沒有被安撫好,這個行為改變可能是永久性的。

於是我開始去了解這個院子裡面的貓咪社群的結構,尤其是了解 Thya 生前和 Willow 在一起的生活。在 R 告訴我 Thya 生病和受傷過好幾次,他還幫忙送去獸醫院和墊付了醫藥費過。我覺得很奇怪,這個年齡的貓咪(她去世時不到四歲),不應該經常生病或者受傷的,通常貓咪也並不去馬路上,在院子和屋頂,以及鄰居家的院子已經足夠它們活動了,為什麼貓咪會在白天跑到馬路上還會被車撞死呢?(我們家門前的路是一條小路,車速不快,車流量也不多)。這個院子裡還有超過十歲的貓咪,每天仍然開心地在門口曬太陽,R 的兩隻貓,Watson 在這裡已經生活了九年,而 Willow 也是在這裡長大,它們每日相伴也都沒什麼問題。

我開始分析每一隻貓咪的性格,甚至留意了會來這個院子的其他貓咪以及它們之間的互動。

R 說好像那位鄰居養過的貓都非常有攻擊性,又提起那位鄰居在 Thya 之前還養過另一隻貓,也是不到貓咪自然壽命的年齡就去世了。

這麼奇怪?!

當然我們也談了一下那位鄰居的情況,他住在一個小公寓裡,然後抽菸很厲害,就算離他兩米遠的地方也能聞到他身上的煙味,我去過一兩次他的屋子找 Willow, 一開門就是被煙霧熏了多年的味道撲鼻而來,還混雜著一點大麻味,原來我們院子裡常常出現的大麻味的來源是這裡⋯⋯

我們忽然想到,是不是二手煙,尤其是大麻導致了 Willow 上癮了,總喜歡往他那裡跑,而不僅僅他家的貓糧更甜? Willow 變得越來越有攻擊性,就像他家以前的貓咪那樣,是不是也有這個原因?

但是無論如何,高濃度的二手煙,尤其還有成癮性毒品的二手煙環境,對體型這麼小的動物來說絕對是有害的。這讓 R 開始坐立不安,尤其是有一次我好不容易把它抓回家,結果沒幾個小時它就在開門的時候咻地溜出去了,R 為此很擔心。

#SecondHandSmoke was responsible for 1.66 million #deaths in 2023, up from 1.38 million in 1990 (#GBDstudy).📈

As #younger people smoke less, their peers and #children are less likely to be exposed to #PassiveSmoking, leading to fewer deaths in these groups.📉

Passive smoking is a huge problem in Germany, especially since there aren't many rules about smoking in public places (yeah, some spots have those yellow lines, but smoke travels further than a drink, you know?). For example, I was walking once and some guy was puffing away right in front of me. To get away from it, I either had to speed up or cross to the other side of the street (the wrong side!).

Think I’ll start carrying a small fire extinguisher to blast at addicts who inflict their filthy tobacco or vape fumes on me on the footpath. “It was self defence, your honour.“

I’ve got a new idea for drones and AI: fly around the CBD and when they detect cigarette or vape exhalations, zoom down and suck them up to stop them being inflicted on others. #PassiveSmoking

I so wish City of Melbourne would adopt the smoking booths of Tokyo to reduce the second hand smoke/vape fumes inflicted on others. #Melbourne #CityOfMelbourne #PassiveSmoking #RightToFreshAir #PublicCourtesy
