Real-life version of "Cat World Pikachu": cats are infected, but the owner dyes them with "earth"
Pika Meow's true identity is a white kitten living in Thailand, named "Morning Glory". Its mistress is called Thammapa Supamas, and the reason for this dramatic change is that the cat's limbs are infected with signs of inflammation and redness, so its owner treats it with a traditional turmeric scrub.
The plant extract has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties and is widely considered an effective antifungal treatment. But at the same time, turmeric powder is a very strong natural dye that produces a bright yellow color.
It can be clearly seen that after applying turmeric, new fluff began to grow on the infected area.
Therefore, it is no surprise that Supamas' white cat turns into a bright yellow fur after being coated with turmeric. When the owner covered the cat's limbs and saw that the limbs were bright yellow but the body was still white, he suddenly became excited. So he applied the cat's whole body with turmeric scrub and took the opportunity to take this set of photos and posted them online.
Supamas updated a few days later that the cat's yellow color has not completely disappeared, but the cat's fungal infection has been fully restored.
Her daily update attracted thousands of people around the world who compared the cat to the yellow pokemon character Pikachu and allowed the set of photos to spread like a virus, sweeping the screen overnight among the pet crowds around the world. There are few studies on the benefits of turmeric for pets.
"Turmeric has been used in the human body for many years because of its many healing, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, but it has not been extensively studied in pets," said Dr. Kurt Venator, DVM, chief veterinarian at Purina.
Please do not dye pets in various forms at home, even this pure natural dye. If you apply turmeric to treat fungal infection, it is also recommended to bring an Elizabethan ring to your cat.
