はい、皆さんこんにちは、日本語できたポッドキャストのホストのさやかです。Yes, hello everyone, I'm Sayaka, the host of the podcast that came in Japanese.
え、このポッドキャストはリブチャパニゾコンセプトに日本の日常やリアルな会話をお届けしていきます。Uh, this podcast will bring you everyday life in Japan and real conversations with the concept of Ribuchapanizo.
今日、今全然違うこと話そうと思ったんだけど、この子のこと話そうかお飛んでちゃった。Today, I was thinking of talking about something completely different, but this kid flew in so let's talk about her.
えっと、今、Um, now,
え、ビデオのユーチュービデオのポッドキャストを見てくれてる、聞いてくれてる人はわかると思うんですけど、今ね、ナツが通ってたんですよね。Uh, for those watching the video, the YouTube video podcast, listening, I think you understand, but right now, Natsu was passing by.
ナツちゃん、お久しぶりでした。Natsu-chan, long time no see.
あまり最近は動画にも出してなかったんですけど、今日はじゃあ私がどうやってナツに出会ったかを話したいと思います。I haven't shown her in videos much recently, but today I'll talk about how I met Natsu.
ナツに出会ったのは実は偶然、もう本当に本当に偶然だったので、なんか。Meeting Natsu was actually by chance, really really by chance, so like.
神様とかなんかこの宇宙がね、God or like this universe,
ナツを私に送ってくれたのかなって思ってたんですけど、まあどうやって見つけたかちょっと話そうと思います。I thought maybe they sent Natsu to me, but I'll talk a bit about how I found her.
まあナツを見つけたというか拾ったのは2023年かな。2023Well, I found Natsu, or rather picked her up, in 2023 I think. 2023
年の夏7月だったと思います。in the summer, I think it was July.
7月にあの朝ね、その日は神戸に行く日だったんです。In July, that morning, that day was the day I was going to Kobe.
で神戸に一泊二日で行く日だったので、ちょっと朝早く起きてレンタカーをして車で行こうとしてたんですね。And since it was a day to go to Kobe for one night and two days, I woke up a little early in the morning and rented a car and was about to go by car.
で普段は私あまりそんなに早く起きないんですよ。And usually I don't wake up that early.
朝型じゃないから結構朝は遅いんですけど、その日はI'm not a morning person so I'm pretty late in the morning, but that day
珍しく朝早く起きて自分の住んでたマンションの外に出てレンタカーを取りに行こうとしたら。unusually I woke up early in the morning and went outside the apartment building I lived in to go get the rental car.
その時私は夫と一緒にいたんですけど、夫がいきなり、え、At that time I was with my husband, and my husband suddenly said, huh,
子猫、子猫いるよって言ってて、there's a kitten, there's a kitten,
で私は何を言ってるか聞こえてなかったし、見えてなかったんですよ。and I couldn't hear what he was saying and I couldn't see it.
私目が悪いので、分からなくて、でなんか夫が何を言ってるかも分からなかった。My eyesight is bad so I didn't understand, and I didn't understand what my husband was saying either.
あの寝起きだったからね。Because I had just woken up.
だから分からなくて、ねえ早く行こうよって私が言ってたら、夫がいや違うよ。So I didn't understand, and when I said, hey let's go quickly, my husband said no, that's not it.
見て、Look,
ほら子猫がいるよって言って指をさしているから、そっちの方ちょっとこうやってね目細くして、えー見えないって言って近づいていったら、look, there's a kitten, he said pointing, so I squinted that way like this, said I can't see, and went closer,
もう手のひらに乗るぐらいのサイズの子猫が歩道に。a kitten about the size to fit in the palm of your hand was on the sidewalk.
こうちっちゃく丸まってうずくまってたんです。It was curled up small like this, crouching.
ミャー、Meow,
ミャー、ミャーってずっと言ってて、へえ、こんなちっちゃい子が一匹で何してるのと思って。meow, meow, it kept saying, and I thought, what is such a tiny kid doing alone.
で、私の夫優しいからここじゃ危ないし、日本人の人は多分見てもスルー。And, my husband is kind so he said it's dangerous here, and Japanese people would probably just ignore it even if they see it.
他のそこを通る人はもうスルーしちゃう。Other people passing by there would just ignore it.
見てもあ猫いるなぐらいで何もしないでどっか行っちゃうから助けなきゃって言って、Even if they see it they'd just think oh there's a cat and do nothing and go somewhere, so we have to help it, and,
その猫をこう手でね持ち上げて近くにあったhe lifted up that cat with his hands to nearby
こうなんだろうな近くにあった木の近くにまあもうちょっと安全なところに移してあげたんです。um what, to near a tree nearby, well he moved it to a bit safer place.
で近くにまだこんな本当に手のひらに乗るぐらいちっちゃかったからあの。And nearby it was still really so tiny it would fit in the palm of your hand so um.
なんだろう、近くにお母さんがまだいるんじゃないかなと思って、すごいずっとねI wondered, maybe the mother is still nearby, and it kept really
、ミャーミャーって本当に高い声で鳴いてるし、顔にも泥がついてたから、, meow meow crying in a really high voice, and there was mud on its face too, so
まだ近くにお母さんがいるんじゃないかなと思って、I thought maybe the mother is still nearby,
私と夫でちょっと近くで見に行ったんですけど、まあ猫って探しに行ったら逃げちゃうじゃないですか。my husband and I went to look nearby a bit, but well cats run away if you go look for them, right.
今はわかるけど、その時はわからなかったね。I understand now, but I didn't understand at that time.
まあ探しに行ったWell we went to look
けどいなかったbut she wasn't there
んですけど、まあもうちょっと時間が経ったらお母さんが探しに来てくれるんじゃないかなと思って、先にレンタカーを取りに行きました。but, well I thought after a bit more time the mother might come looking for her, so we went to get the rental car first.
レンタカーを取りに行って戻ってきたらWe went to get the rental car and came back
三十分後ぐらいかな、三十分ぐらい時間が経ってたんですけど、about thirty minutes later, about thirty minutes had passed,
まだ同じところにいて鳴いて鳴いてて、she was still in the same place crying and crying,
でも私と夫はまだね神戸に行く準備ができてなかったので、もうちょっと様子を見ようって言って部屋に戻ってbut my husband and I still weren't ready to go to Kobe, so we said let's watch a bit more and went back to the room
で部屋まあ準備をするじゃないですか。and well we prepare in the room, right.
で一時間後ぐらいにまた外に出たらまだ同じ場所でAnd about an hour later we went outside again and she was still in the same place
ミャーミャーミャーって鳴いててまだ小さいから目が見えているのかよく分かんなかったけどcrying meow meow meow, and she was still so small I couldn't really tell if her eyes could see or not
もうお母さんいなさそうだったからそのまま拾ってSince the mother cat didn't seem to be around anymore, I just picked it up as it was,
で拾ったんですけどその日はね神戸に行って一泊二日でお泊りの予定だったので。and I picked it up, but that day we were going to Kobe and planning to stay overnight for one night and two days.
今日は自分たちで面倒見れないからwe couldn't take care of it ourselves that day, so
近くにいた友達にちょっと一日だけ見てくれない、この子かわいそうだからって言って、あの見てもらうことになってI asked a friend who was nearby to just watch it for one day, because this little one is pitiful, and they agreed to watch it,
猫を預けて神戸に行きました。I left the cat with them and went to Kobe.
神戸に行って次の日帰ってくるじゃないですか。We went to Kobe and then come back the next day, right.
帰ってきて猫を迎えに行って、まだね顔も泥ついてるし何を食べさせたらいいかもわからない、猫を飼ったことがないからね。I came back and went to pick up the cat, and its face was still dirty and I didn't know what to feed it, because I've never had a cat.
で、まあ家に連れて帰って、牛乳ってあげていいのかなとか思ったけど本当はダメなんだね。And, well, I brought it home, and I wondered if I could give it milk, but actually you're not supposed to.
あげちゃったけど、あげちゃったけどダメだったみたいですね。I did give it some, but it seems like that was bad.
お腹壊しちゃうから。Because it upsets their stomach.
その日かその次の日にあの猫that day or the next day, that cat
まあ猫ちゃん連れて、拾ったばっかりだったからなんか病気持ってるかもしれないし、もしかしたら誰かwell, I took the kitten with me, since I had just picked it up it might have some illness, or maybe it had
の家から逃げちゃったかもしれない、チップ入ってるかなとかescaped from someone's house, I wondered if it had a microchip or not,
分かんなかったから動物病院に連れて行きました。I didn't know, so I took it to the animal hospital.
で、その動物病院に連れて行く時も車を持ってないから、なんかねリュックだったかな、カバンにAnd when I took it to the animal hospital, I don't have a car, so in like a backpack, in a bag
猫ちゃん入れて、I put the kitten in,
カバンに猫ちゃん入れて、もうねずっとI put the kitten in the bag, and it was just
ミャーミャーミャーってずっと言ってるんですよ。meowing meow meow the whole time.
言ってるけど、よしよしよしよしってしながら自転車でIt was meowing, but while going shh shh, patting it, by bicycle
動物病院に連れてってあげて、そしたら動物病院で体重測ってくれて、まあこの子はお母さん野良猫I took it to the animal hospital, and then at the animal hospital they weighed it, well this kitten's mother is a stray cat
、あ、そうそうそう、だからすみません、体重を測ってくれて、その時ね400グラムだったんです。, ah, right right right, so sorry, they weighed it, and at that time it was 400 grams.
めちゃくちゃちっちゃい、400グラムですよ。It was super tiny, 400 grams.
あの400グラムだから何、あのペットボトル500ミリリットルのペットボトルより軽いってことか。Well, 400 grams means, what, it's lighter than a 500-milliliter plastic bottle.
えそういうこと？Huh, is that right?
そういうことですよね。That's right, isn't it.
うん。Yeah.
もう本当ちっちゃかったからね、めちゃくちゃ可愛かったの。It was really so tiny, it was incredibly cute.
だけどあのそのマンションは猫を飼っていいかわからなかったし、But I didn't know if that apartment allowed cats,
私はまだいろんなところ旅行行きたいしなって思って、and I was thinking I still want to travel to lots of places,
私が引き取るかそれか誰か里親になってくれる人を探さなきゃなって思ってたんですけど、I was thinking I had to either take it in myself or find someone to be its foster parent,
まあ病院に行ってそのwell, I went to the hospital and that
獣医さんお医者さん動物の医者さんのこと獣医って言うんですけど、獣医さんがthe veterinarian, the animal doctor is called a veterinarian, the veterinarian said
この子は多分野良猫の猫ちゃんの子供で。this kitten is probably the baby of a stray cat.
でそのお母さんが忘れて置いてっちゃったのかなって言ってて、And they said maybe its mother forgot it and left it behind,
なんかそれを聞いて涙出そうになって、えそんなことあるのと思って、and hearing that I almost cried, thinking huh, does that happen,
まあでもなんかよくあるってねその獣医さんは言ってたんですけど、well, the vet said it happens quite often though,
うん忘れられちゃって、であともう一つなんかyeah, it was left behind, forgotten, and also one more thing,
尻尾が折れてるんですよなんか尻尾がまっすぐじゃなくてちょっと折れてるんですけど、えこれはどうしたんですかits tail is bent, like its tail isn't straight and is a little bent, so I asked what happened,
って言ったらand they said
多分だけど生まれる時にあの折れて出てきちゃって、別に何も問題はないからこのままでいいよって言ってたんです。probably when it was born it came out bent, but there's no problem at all so it's fine to leave it like this.
痛くないからって言われて、あ、そうなんだと思って、They said it doesn't hurt, so I thought oh, I see,
本当にずっとずっと鳴いてて、ミャーミャーってずっと鳴いてて、it was really crying all the time, meowing meow meow all the time,
連れて帰って里親を探そうかな、探さなきゃな、私旅行したいし責任持てないかもしれないからI took it home and thought I should look for a foster parent, I have to look, I want to travel and I might not be able to take responsibility,
探さなきゃって思ってたんですけど、もうね、その時点でI was thinking I had to look, but already at that point
可愛いから愛情が湧いちゃって、もう可愛くてit was so cute that I felt love for it, it was so cute,
他の人のところに行くのが寂しかったし、この子ちゃんと育ててあげたいなI felt sad thinking about it going to someone else, and I wanted to raise it properly,
って思って、夫とも何回も話したんですよ。so I talked about it with my husband many times.
夫はさやかが決めていいよって言ってくれてたんですけど、まあ私は本当に愛情が湧いちゃったので、あ、じゃあ、My husband told me Sayaka could decide, but I had really grown attached to it, so, oh, well,
あの。um.
飼いたい、育ててあげたいって言って飼うことになりました。I said I want to keep it, I want to raise it, and so we decided to keep it.
それがね出会いだったね。That was how we met.
だから私の夫が見つけなかったら、夏には出会わなかったし、あの日So if my husband hadn't found her, we wouldn't have met Natsu, and that day
神戸に行く予定がなかったら、あんなに朝早く起きることがなかったから、もしかしたら出会わなかったかもしれないIf we hadn't planned to go to Kobe, we wouldn't have woken up so early that morning, so we might never have met. When I think about that, it feels like a miracle.
って思うとなんか奇跡だなって思います。And well
でまあAnd well
飼うって決めて飼うって決めてそこからねじゃ名前決めなきゃってなってWe decided to keep her, decided to keep her, and from there, okay we have to decide on a name
名前を決めようってなったんですけど、夏白いからWe decided to choose a name, but since Natsu is white
私の夫はスノー、スノーフレイクって言ってたかな、スノーフレイクちゃんって言ってたんですけどMy husband said Snow, Snowflake, I think, he said Snowflake-chan, but
名前長いなってI thought that name is long
スノーフレイクしかもこんなに暑い夏に拾ったのに。Snowflake, and on top of that we picked her up in such a hot summer.
スノーフレークかよと思って、え、それはなし、I thought, no way, no to that,
夏に拾った真夏に拾った猫ちゃんだからナツ、ナツがいいって私がずっとナツ、Since she's a cat we picked up in summer, in midsummer, Natsu, Natsu is good, I kept saying Natsu,
ナツやん、ナツってずっと呼んでたらあのナツが勝ちました、だからえっと名前がナツになりました。I kept calling her Natsu, Natsu, and Natsu won, so her name became Natsu.
ちなみにあの拾った時顔がね泥とか土で汚れてて、であのBy the way, when we picked her up, her face was dirty with mud and dirt, and
そう土で汚れててあとなんかノミ、虫がついてないか検査してもらったらやっぱりついてたから最初の三日Yes, dirty with dirt, and we had her checked for fleas and bugs, and sure enough she had them, so for the first three days
ぐらいだったかなor so
ちょっと何日か忘れちゃったんですけど最初の三日ぐらいはもう段ボールの中に閉じ込めてI forgot exactly how many days, but for about the first three days we kept her shut in a cardboard box
つけてもらった薬と一緒にwith the medicine they gave us
そのノミっていうまあ虫が落ちるのを待たなきゃいけなくて、ずっとね段ボールの中でミャーミャーWe had to wait for the fleas, the bugs, to fall off, and she kept meowing in the cardboard box
って鳴いてて、ごめんねってずっと思ってました。and I kept thinking, I'm so sorry.
本当にそれが辛かった。That was really hard.
なんかごめんねって、そんなこんな段ボールに閉じ込められる運命で生まれてきてないのに閉じ込めちゃってごめんねってI kept thinking, I'm sorry, you weren't born to be locked up in a cardboard box like this, I'm sorry for locking you up
すごくすごく思ってて。I really, really felt that.
まあでもあのWell, but
ちゃんとそのノミは落ちて段ボールから出してあげて、そこからはねもう本当に可愛かったですね。The fleas properly fell off and we let her out of the cardboard box, and from then on she was just really adorable.
今思うと今もう三歳だからあれだけど、Looking back now, she's already three years old, but
そのちっちゃい時は本当にずっとついてきたし、例えば洗面所で歯を磨いたり顔を洗ってる時に。When she was tiny she really followed me everywhere, for example when I was brushing my teeth or washing my face in the washroom.
めちゃくちゃ痛いんだけど、私の服に爪を引っ掛けて、カカカカって登ってきて、私の頭とかここの肩にIt hurt so much, but she'd hook her claws into my clothes and climb up, clack clack clack, and sit on my head or here on my shoulder
座っていろいろ見てたからね。and watch everything.
本当に可愛いあの時戻ってこないかなって思うぐらいめちゃくちゃ可愛かったあの小猫時代。She was so cute, I wish I could go back to that time, that kitten phase was insanely cute.
あとはなんか走る時もまっすぐ走れなくてなんか横横走るみたいになってて、何その忍者みたいなAlso when she ran, she couldn't run straight, she'd run kind of sideways, like what, like a ninja
なんかカニみたいな走り方Like a crab walk
変なのって思ってたし、あの猫って高いところにたくさんジャンプできるけど小猫はまだ小さいからI thought that was weird, and cats can jump up high, but I didn't know that kittens are still too small and
できないってこと知らなくて、can't do it,
いつぐらいにジャンプとかできるようになるのかも知らなかったんですけど、その時にえっとI didn't know around when they'd be able to jump either, but at that time
まあそう成長を見ていくじゃないですか。Well, you watch them grow, right.
その時に例えばソファからAt that time, for example from the sofa
あ、ソファのここからここまで飛んだとか、えテーブルの上に乗ってるとか、そういうのが本当に楽しかったですね。Oh, she jumped from here to here on the sofa, or oh she's on top of the table, things like that were really fun.
めちゃくちゃ楽しかった。It was so much fun.
ただすごく難しかったのは、犬は飼ったことあったんですけど、猫は飼ったことがなくて、何をしてあげたらいいかわからなかった。But what was really difficult was, I'd had a dog before, but I'd never had a cat, so I didn't know what to do for her.
なんかどうやって遊んであげ、あ、まあ遊ぶのはできてたかな。Like how to play with her, oh, well, playing was okay I guess.
うん、遊ぶのはたくさんできてたと思うけど、ご飯がYeah, I think we played a lot, but food was
あんまり猫の餌をいろいろ買って試したんですけど、全部なんかI bought and tried all kinds of cat food, but all of it, she'd
こうね土を掘るようにガリガリガリガリって掘り出しちゃったりとかいらないみたいな感じで食べなかったりしたから、scratch at it like digging dirt, scratch scratch scratch, digging it out, or act like she didn't want it and wouldn't eat it, so
えこの子何なら食べるんだろうと思って結構模索しましたね。I wondered what on earth she would eat, I really searched for an answer.
うん、結構考え考えたというか大変だったなって思います。Yeah, I thought about it a lot, it was tough.
チュールは食べたけどね。She ate Churu though.
ね、あのペースト状のやつ、あれ好きだよね、猫ちゃん。You know, that paste-type treat, cats love that, right.
まあそういうのとか、いろいろあげながら育てていって、まあだんだん大きくなっていって、半年後ぐらいから、Well, giving her things like that and various foods, we raised her, and she gradually grew bigger, and from about half a year later,
半年後一月ぐらいだったかな。About half a year later, around January, I think.
なんかその一月ぐらいにめちゃくちゃ大きい声で鳴き出したんですよ。Well, around January she suddenly started meowing in a really loud voice.
もう本当に声が大きくて、Her voice was just really, really loud,
周りのマンションの人に聞こえて迷惑になっちゃうかなって思うぐらい、すごい声で鳴き出して、So loud that I thought the people in the surrounding apartments could hear it and it might bother them, she started crying with such an amazingly loud voice,
え何これ、何が始まったのってLike, what is this, what just started,
思って、いろいろまあネットで調べたらI thought, and I looked up all sorts of things online
発情期なのかな。I wondered if it was heat.
なんかなんだっけ、なんか。What was it, like, um.
発情期、体が熱くなっちゃうのかな。In heat, I wonder if her body gets hot.
で、まあナツはその時まで手術もしてなかったし、そういうことをするっていうことも知らなかったから、その時に初めて知って、And, well, Natsu hadn't had surgery by then, and I didn't even know that kind of thing happens, so that's when I first learned about it,
あのう、避妊、まあナツ女の子だから、Um, spaying, well, since Natsu is a girl,
そのThat I saw that I had to get her spayed so she couldn't get pregnant, well, not had to, but that it was better to do it,
何、妊娠できないようにするために避妊の手術をしなきゃいけない、しなきゃいけないっていうか、した方がいいっていうのを見て、Oh, then I thought I have to take her in, and I took her to a different animal hospital, and that animal hospital was a really good place,
あじゃあ連れていかなきゃと思って、また違うね、動物病院に連れて行って、でその動物病院はすごくいいところで、The vet there also volunteered doing surgeries for stray cats in the neighborhood,
その獣医さんもボランティアで地域のね野良猫の手術とかもしてる方だったので、So they treated her very carefully, and she had her spay surgery there, and it's since that surgery,
すごく丁寧にしてくれたんですけど、そこで避妊の手術をして、でその手術をしてからなんですけど、Well, since then, or rather she's always been timid, she's scared of everything, timid and fearful, so yeah,
してからっていうか元々のやつビビリなんですよ全部臆病で怖がりでビビリだからうんまTaking her to the animal hospital is pretty hard too, she gets really angry,
動物病院連れていくのも結構大変でもうすっごい怒っちゃうしShe flies all around the room, so it's quite difficult,
あのね部屋中飛び回っちゃうから結構難しいんですけどWhen she came home after that surgery, she had on what they call an Elizabethan collar,
その手術をして帰ってきたときにこうエリザベス・カラーっていうのかなTo keep her from touching around her face, this round thing,
顔の周りを触らないようにするこう丸いShe had this plastic thing around her face,
顔の周りにこうプラスチックをつけてたんですけどWith that on, and on top of that she was wearing a post-surgery suit,
それをつけてさらに手術の服を着せてたんですねWell, because she was wearing the surgery suit, she couldn't lick or touch the wound,
でまあ手術の服を着せてたからその傷あとを舐めちゃったり触ったりしないようにはなってたんですけどUm.
あの。Anyway, she apparently really hated this plastic Elizabethan collar, it was so stressful, she started hissing like I'd never seen before,
とにかくこのプラスチックのエリザベスカラーがすごくストレスで嫌だったみたいで、今までに見たことがないぐらいギャーって怒り出して、I was like, what should I do, what should I do, I thought she'd gone crazy,
え、どうしよう、どうしよう、狂っちゃったと思って、Just watching that almost made me cry, and I thought, oh, she's wearing the post-surgery clothes so it's fine, and I took it off for her,
もうそれを見て私が泣きそうになって、あ、これ手術の、手術の後の服着てるからいいよねと思って、それ取ってあげて、There were so many first-time things, and so many times I wondered what I should do.
なんかいろんなことが初めてで、どうしたらいいんだろうということがたくさんありましたね。Well, with all that, lots of things happened, but even now
まあそんなこんなでいろいろありましたけど、今もWe're still living together,
一緒に住んでるし、We've moved together many times too, and I feel bad because she's a cat,
一緒に何回も引っ越しもしたし、猫ちゃんなのに申し訳ないって思うけど、When my husband and I go on trips, my family helps out and looks after her together with us.
私と夫が旅行に行くときは、あの私の家族がね、あの協力してくれたりして一緒に面倒を見ています。There's just one thing I'm a little worried about.
ただ一個だけちょっと心配。Well, not one thing, there are two things I'm worried about, one is that she's really timid so
一個じゃないな、二つ心配なことがあって、一つは本当にビビリちゃんだからWhen someone comes over she immediately goes hiss,
誰か人が来た時にすぐシャーってAnd when I have to take her to the hospital for checkups, or
言っちゃうし、あの病院に検査をしに行かなきゃいけなかったり、あとはLike when she needs shots, well, there are times you have to take them to the hospital, right.
なんか注射しなきゃいけないとか、まあ病院に連れて行かなきゃいけないことってあるじゃないですか。At times like that she really goes wild,
そういう時に本当に暴れちゃう、She keeps hissing so loudly that everyone in the hospital can hear,
もうその病院にいる人みんなが聞こえるぐらい大きな声でシャーってずっと言ってて、I've taken her to various hospitals, and at one hospital they even said, this one's a handful,
なんかいろんな病院連れて行ったんですけど、ある病院ではこの子大変だねって言われちゃったりとかSo I wonder about that, like always.
して、どうなんだろうなと思って、なんかいつも。With just one cat?
猫一匹？Wondering if she's lonely alone so I should get another one,
一人だけで、寂しいからもう一匹飼った方がいいのかなとかもI've thought about it before, and I still think about it now,
考えたこともあるし、今も考えることも、I still think about it sometimes, but
今も考えることあるんですけど、Like, you know,
なんかWhat if their personalities don't match and she keeps hissing and gets stressed, or
性格合わなくてずっとシャーしちゃってストレスたまったらどうしようとか、There are so many things I don't know about cats, so if any cat-owning
なんか猫のことわからないことがたくさんあるので、もしこれを聞いてる猫を飼ってるMoms and dads, professionals listening to this, please tell me.
ママパパ、プロの方がいたらぜひ教えてください。What should I do.
どうしたらいいかな。What should I do.
まあそんなこともあったし、で二つ目の心配なことはあのちょうどWell, that kind of thing happened too, and the second thing I'm worried about is, just around
半年ぐらい前から。about half a year ago.
えっとum
発作が起きるようになっちゃって発作っていうのはいきなり体のコントロールができなくなってhe started having seizures, and by seizure I mean suddenly he can't control his body and
ガタガタガタガタガタガタガタってshaking shaking shaking shaking shaking shaking
あの失神しちゃう失神っていうかまあ発作だね発作がアタックかアタックがhe faints, well, it's not fainting, it's a seizure, a seizure, an attack, an attack
出てくるようになっちゃって初めてなった時は本当にそんなことあるって知らなかったからstarted happening, and the first time it happened I really didn't know that could happen
知らなくて抱き上げて死んじゃうと思ったからI didn't know, so I picked him up and thought he was going to die
ナツナツNatsu, Natsu
死なないでってdon't die
こっちthis way
こっちこっちこっちってもう本当体叩いちゃって余計パニック起こしちゃったみたいなんですけどthis way, this way, this way, I actually ended up hitting his body and it seemed like it made him panic even more
それがand that
一分ぐらい一分も続いてないかな発作が一分ぐらい起きてそこから不安になったのでまた病院に連れて行ってfor about a minute, maybe not even a full minute, the seizure lasted about a minute, and after that I got worried so I took him to the vet again
三回ぐらい血液検査。like three times, blood tests.
をしてdid
病院大嫌いなのに連れて行かなきゃいけなくてeven though he hates the vet, I had to take him
連れて行って血液検査をしてそれからまあ血液で悪いところはなかったからI took him and had blood tests done, and well, there was nothing bad in the blood, so
MRIを撮ろうってなってMRIを撮りにまた違う病院に行ってthey said let's take an MRI, so I went to a different hospital to get an MRI
撮ったんですけどそこでもまあ頭の病気はないって言われてI got it taken, but there too they said well, there's no brain disease
あよかったoh, good
頭の病気ないならよかったif there's no brain disease then that's good
って思ったけどなんかさネットでやっぱ調べちゃうじゃないですかI thought that, but you know, you end up looking it up online anyway
ネットで調べると犬はてんかんてんかんってあの epilepsywhen you look it up online, dogs have epilepsy, epilepsy, you know, epilepsy
てんかん犬はてんかんの場合が多いけど猫は脳の病気の場合が多いって見たからI saw that dogs often have epilepsy, but cats often have brain disease, so
病気だったらどうしようと思ってもうその一週間ねI thought, what if it's a disease, and for that whole week
もうその時期私が人生で一番忙しい。that was the busiest time of my life.
時期だったんですけど、だからもう本当に寝てなかった寝ずに、it was that time, so I really wasn't sleeping, without sleeping,
ナツが夜の10時ぐらいに初めて発作起きちゃって、Natsu had his first seizure at around 10 at night,
もう大パニックだし、死んじゃうと思ったから私も泣きそうだし、I was in a total panic, and I thought he was going to die, so I was about to cry too,
ずっと抱っこして抱っこ嫌いだけどね、I held him the whole time, even though he hates being held,
ナツは抱っこ嫌いだけど抱っこして落ち着くの待って、夜にやってる動物病院を調べて、Natsu hates being held, but I held him and waited for him to calm down, looked up an animal hospital open at night,
そこに電話して今どうしたらいいですかって聞いて、まあその血液検査とかMRIを撮ってもらって、called there and asked what should I do right now, and well, I had blood tests and an MRI taken,
まあwell
何も脳のね病気がなかったから良かったんですけど、じゃあその発作なんなのってなった時に、there was no brain disease, so that was good, but then when it came to what is this seizure,
あのその獣医さんがね、多分だけど特発性てんかんじゃないかなって言われて、ただなんかそのum, that vet said, probably, it's idiopathic epilepsy, but like
またその発作ガタガタガタガタって全身コントロールが効かなくなっちゃう発作がまたまたif that seizure again, that shaking shaking shaking where he loses control of his whole body, if it happens again within half a year
起きたら半年以内にif it happens again
また起きたらその可能性が高いですねって言われてもうそこからはさif it happens again, then that possibility is high, they told me, and from then on, you know
起きないでくれ起きないでくれってもう発作なんて起きないで可哀想だからって思うじゃないですか起きちゃったんですよI was like please don't happen, please don't happen, I thought please don't have a seizure because it's so pitiful, but it did happen
6月に起きちゃってit happened in June
でその時はand at that time
電話で相談したんです獣医さんにI consulted over the phone with the vet
また起きちゃいましたどうしたらいいですかって相談したらI asked, it happened again, what should I do, and they said
まあちょっと様子見ましょうか24時間以内にまたあったら明日連れてきてくださいって言われたんですけどwell, let's watch him for now, if it happens again within 24 hours, bring him in tomorrow, but
まあ。well.
なくて、で三ヶ月経ちました、九月になりました。it didn't happen, and then three months passed, it became September.
九月にね、またあったんですよ。in September, you know, it happened again.
もうあるたびに見てられない、もう可哀想すぎて。every time it happens I can't bear to watch, it's just too pitiful.
で本人もand he himself too
その発作が起きた後ポケーってしてるからね、何が起きたんだろうみたいなAfter that seizure happens, he's just spaced out, like, what happened kind of
ポケーってしてるから、何してあげたらいいかわからなくて悲しい、He's just spaced out, so I don't know what I can do for him and it's sad,
本当に悲しいしどうしようかなって感じなんですけど、まあそれは獣医さんと話しながらIt's really sad and I'm like, what should I do, but, well, while talking with the vet
薬にしていくのかな、どうするのかなっていう感じですね。Whether we'll go with medication or what we'll do, that's how it feels.
なんか猫ちゃんでてんかん持ってる猫ちゃんを飼ってる人いたら教えてください。If there's anyone who has a cat with epilepsy, please let me know.
もうどうしたらいいかわからないI just don't know what to do anymore
けど、なんかナツにストレスを与えたくもないし、だけどナツには。But, I don't want to stress Natsu out either, but for Natsu.
うん、長生きしてほしいからどうしたらいいのかなって思ってます。Yeah, I want him to live a long life, so I'm wondering what I should do.
うん、なんか最近暗くなっちゃってるけど、あのYeah, things have been a bit gloomy lately, but, um
まあまあ暗くはなっちゃってるけど、Well, well, it has gotten a bit gloomy, but,
うん、てんかんね、病気って自分が調子悪いときって自分でこう、まあ人間だしYeah, with epilepsy, you know, when you're feeling unwell, you can say so yourself, well, we're human after all
自分で言えるからいいですけど、赤ちゃんとか動物が病気なときってYou can say it yourself so that's fine, but when a baby or an animal is sick
喋れないから、喋れないしすごく弱いThey can't talk, they can't talk and they're such vulnerable
存在だから守ってあげなきゃいけないのに、Beings that you have to protect,
どんな思いをしているかとかどんな痛みがあるかとかも伝わらないから、それがなんか悲しいなって思いますね。And they can't tell you what they're feeling or what pain they're in, so that makes me sad.
うん、まあでも。Yeah, well, but.
そうね、ナツはそれがあるのでちょっとそれが不安なところなんですけど、もし誰かあのそういう猫ちゃん飼ってる人いたら教えてください、ぜひYeah, so, Natsu has that, so that's a bit of a worry, but if anyone out there has a cat like that, please let me know
あの本当に教えてください。Please, really tell me.
まあそうね、今三歳、三歳何ヶ月だ、七、え、六七八九十、Well, right, now he's three years old, three years and how many months, seven, uh, six seven eight nine ten,
今三歳四ヶ月ぐらいかな、三歳四ヶ月ぐらいになって、もう結構昔よりは落ち着いてきたかなって思ってます。Now he's about three years and four months old, about three years and four months, and I think he's calmed down quite a bit compared to before.
でも毎日可愛いけどね、ナツは一緒にBut he's cute every day, Natsu, together
寝てくれないけど、ちょっと寒くなってきたから最近はなんか私の足元で寝てます。He won't sleep with me, but since it's gotten a bit cold lately, he's been sleeping at my feet.
まあ足元で寝られちゃうとね、私動けないからちょっと窮屈なんだけどね、まあまあそれはいいや。Well, when he sleeps at my feet, I can't move so it's a bit cramped, but well, that's fine.
そう、まあ今日はちょっと冒頭に話し始めた時に。Yeah, well, today, when I started talking at the beginning.
あのナツがユーチューブのねビデオの画面に出てきたからちょっと話そうかなと思って急遽ナツの話をしました。Natsu showed up on the screen of the YouTube video, so I thought I'd talk about him and suddenly started talking about Natsu.
