寺院“击掌猫”意外爆红！主人：绝没虐猫蹭流量

近日，苏州西园寺，一只爱和游客击掌的小猫火爆网络。

这只猫戴着“金链子”，游客伸手，它就会举爪子回应。有爱的互动萌到了很多游客和网友。

不少游客特地赶到苏州与它互动，场面好像粉丝见面会，它的小爪子根本忙不过来。

At Xiyuan Temple in Suzhou, a cat that high-fives visitors has become a sensation online. Wearing a gold-colored chain, the cat responds by raising its paw when visitors reach out. This cute interaction has charmed many tourists and netizens, leading some to visit Suzhou specifically to engage with the cat.

据现代快报消息，这只猫并不是西园寺的流浪猫，而是一只有主人的宠物猫。

据小猫主人刘先生介绍，猫咪名叫糖豆，今年4岁，是一只16斤半的美短加白，俗称起司猫。因为糖豆患有耳螨，涂了药之后湿湿的，需要晒太阳，所以每当周末天气晴好，主人便会带它到西园寺逛一逛，晒晒太阳。

早在两年前，猫主人就经常带着糖豆到西园寺晒太阳，只是近段时间因为游客拍的视频突然火了，来看糖豆的人一下子变得特别多，大家都想来击掌沾好运。

The cat, named Tangdou, is not a stray but a housecat that accompanies its owner Mr Liu on temple visits. For the past two years, on sunny weekends, the owner has been taking Tangdou to Xiyuan Temple to soak up the sun. It was not until recently that videos of visitors high-fiving the cat have gone viral, attracting a surge of people wanting to meet Tangdou for a lucky touch.

3月1日，有网友反映，糖豆在面对游客的击掌时，没有像往常一样热情回应。它甚至完全不回应，“准备罢工了”。

However, the cat wasn't as enthusiastic as usual on Saturday when faced with visitors for high-fives, and didn't respond at all, as observed by some netizens.

还有网友调侃，“班味十足，是不是周末猫猫想下班了？”

3月3日，击掌猫相关话题，登上热搜。

不少网友 表示：很无语。

@LiYu娇：猫：真是无语，我全年无休。

@风吹麦浪：从它脸上看到了“厌烦”两个字。

@遇见星星的旅程：猫咪：击击击，就知道击，都得肩周炎了，还击。

@1805：本来只是玩一下，现在变成上班了。

@连悠白云悠悠：真的是特别心疼这个猫猫，都成什么样了。

@梦琪昵昵_165 ：一脸疲惫，心里想：能让休息不？举爪举酸了都。

西园寺回应

据北京青年报，3月3日，记者致电西园寺，工作人员表示“击掌小猫”并非寺内的流浪猫，而是游客自己带来的宠物猫，在寺门口的广场上做直播。“他应该是想做网红，蹭（西园寺）流量，寺庙内我们肯定是不允许用猫直播的。”工作人员称，因为“击掌小猫”不在寺庙内，因此他们无权管理。

同时，西园寺工作人员还提醒游客，别在寺庙附近的商店买猫条，很多都是三无产品，质量很差。据悉，去年夏天寺内好多猫因为被投喂劣质猫条生病，死了好几只。

Xiyuan Temple staff responded on Monday that the "high-fiving cat" was brought by a visitor who livestreamed near the temple's entrance. They suspect the visitor's intention was to gain online fame. Cats are not allowed inside for livestreaming, but the staff cannot manage activities outside the temple premises. They also cautioned against purchasing cat treats nearby, as many are of poor quality. Last summer, several temple cats fell ill and died from consuming low-quality treats.

主人：没有蹭流量，也没有虐猫

对此，刘先生表示，猫咪的爆火源于一位路人随手拍的视频，这纯属意外。糖豆爆火以后，为了回应大家对糖豆的关注和喜爱，刘先生开启了直播，“我们背后从来没有什么推手，没有MCN机构或者剧本，此前拍的猫咪视频是为了记录它的成长。该景区工作人员不了解情况，他说的不属实”。

此外，针对网友质疑其不顾猫咪身体，带猫四处“营业”等虐猫言论，刘先生予以否认，“我们一直精心照顾猫咪，它有时露出的表情像是在‘臭脸’，但其实不是的。糖豆很爱外出，所以我们会带它到商场等地方逛，并不是说为了带它‘营业’。感谢网友对糖豆的关心，但一些言论是不属实的”。

In response to accusations of mistreating the cat for profit, Liu denied the claims. He clarified that filming and live streaming are to document the cat's growth and respond to people's affection for it. Tangdou enjoys being outdoors and is frequently taken for walks, not for financial gain, said Liu.

对于今后的打算，刘先生称，“现在糖豆太火了，我怕会有太多人去围观，担心到时候会有什么危及猫咪的事情发生，所以我们这段时间不会再带糖豆去西园寺了。”

苏州西园寺位于苏州阊门外虎丘路西园弄18号，始建于十三世纪元代至元年间，是江苏省文物保护单位。因寺内有很多流浪猫，被一些网友称为“撸猫圣地”。
