Cat owners who love to take pictures of their furry friends now have a new excuse to pull out their smartphones and take a snapshot: it may actually help the cat.
喜歡為毛小孩拍照的養貓者，現在有了拿出智慧型手機拍一張的新藉口，因為這麼做其實可以幫到愛貓。
A Calgary, Alberta, animal health technology company, Sylvester.ai, has developed an app called Tably that uses the phone’s camera to tell whether a feline is feeling pain.
（加拿大）亞伯達省卡加利市的動物健康科技公司Sylvester.ai，開發出一款名為Tably的應用程式，可透過手機相機偵測貓咪是否感到疼痛。
The app looks at ear and head position, eye-narrowing, muzzle tension, and how whiskers change, to detect distress.
該程式會觀察貓咪耳朵及頭部的位置、眼睛寬窄、口鼻緊繃狀況和鬍鬚變化，判斷牠們是否感到疼痛。
A 2019 study published in peer-reviewed journal Scientific Reports found that the so-called ’feline grimace scale,’ or FGS, is a valid and reliable tool for acute pain assessment in cats.
同儕審核期刊《科學報告》2019年發表的研究發現，所謂的「貓科動物鬼臉量表」（FGS），是檢測貓咪急性疼痛的有效、可信的工具。
The app could help young veterinarians, who maybe have not had quite so much experience.（Reuters）
該程式也可以幫助資淺的獸醫，因為他們或許沒有太多經驗。（路透）
