摘　　要：中国的爱猫人士开玩笑说,猫其实是一种超级聪明的外星物种。它们是瞄星人,几万年前来到地球,奴役人类。它们相当成功,因为爱猫人士也自称“猫奴”。纵观斯史,人们对猫的喜爱源远流长。在古代,猫除了捉老鼠,还是贵族的宠物,被称为“狸奴”,也就是“猫仆人”。Chinese cat-lovers joke that cats are really a super-intelligent alien species.They are the citizens of planet Meow,who came to the Earth tens of thousands of years ago to enslave the human race.They have been rather successful,as shown by the fact that cat-lovers also refer to themselves as"slaves to cats".The love for cats runs deep in Chinese history.In ancient times,besides dealing with rats,cats were kept as pets of the aristocracy.They were called linu,meaning"cat servant".
