Doting owners are often blamed when pets put on a few pounds. 当家里的爱宠增重了，人们往往归咎于溺爱它的主人喂食太多。 But experts say that in many cases obese dogs and cats are 'emotional eaters'. 然而专家们说，在很多情况下，超重的喵星人和汪星人都是在“借食消愁”。 They also consume more than they need simply to cope with boredom or stress, research has found. 研究表明，它们过量贪食的目的也许仅仅是为了应对烦恼和压力等不良情绪。 That means, if they have gained weight, it could be because they have been through a traumatic or emotional event. 这意味着，如果宠物们增重了，有可能是因为它们正在经历心理创伤或情感事件。 |
