Some animal lovers enjoy spoiling their pride and joy pets with the wide range of luxury accessory items available on the market.
一些動(dòng)物控對(duì)自己心愛(ài)的寵物極盡寵愛(ài)，他們給寵物買了形形色色的奢侈配飾。

But some of the unnecessary products veer towards being slightly bizarre and the Twinkle Tush may well be the strangest.
但是一些不實(shí)用的產(chǎn)品開(kāi)始走起了偏怪異路線，而“閃臀”可能是最奇葩的產(chǎn)品。

According to the company's website, Twinkle Tush is a jewel - attached to what appears to be a hairband - that is simply designed to hang from your cat’s tail.
該公司網(wǎng)站顯示，“閃臀”是一款珠寶飾品（裝飾在類似發(fā)圈的東西上），它的設(shè)計(jì)僅僅是用來(lái)遮貓屁股的。

It is said to add ‘bling to your cat’s bum’ and also enables them to 'strut their stuff'.
據(jù)說(shuō)這可以給貓的屁股增添珠光寶氣，而且也可以讓貓咪賣弄一下自己。

Twinkle Tush say that: 'A bare bottom should never be shown in public,’ and that while your pet feline may seem proud of their behind, they are in fact craving some much needed 'sparkle'.
“閃臀”公司說(shuō)：“不應(yīng)該當(dāng)眾光著屁股，而且當(dāng)你家的貓咪看似對(duì)自己的屁股自豪時(shí)，它們實(shí)際上是在渴望一些非常必要的亮點(diǎn)?！?/p>

The product retails at $5.99 on the website but there is also a prominent note that states that the accessory is in fact a 'gag-gift'.
這款產(chǎn)品的網(wǎng)絡(luò)零售價(jià)是5.99美元，但是旁邊醒目的字提醒人們這件飾品實(shí)際上是“惡作劇禮物”。

In the Twinkle Tush advert, a grey cat named Vladimir models the product around a house – climbing on the furniture and running up a set of stairs.
在“閃臀”廣告中，“模特”是一只叫弗拉基米爾的灰貓，它一會(huì)兒爬爬家具，一會(huì)兒跑上樓梯，在房子里展示這款產(chǎn)品。

Since being posted to YouTube, the video has been viewed of 400,000 times and has received a number of mixed reviews.
自從被發(fā)布到Y(jié)ouTube上后，這個(gè)視頻的瀏覽量已達(dá)40萬(wàn)次，網(wǎng)友的評(píng)論褒貶不一。

用戶米歇爾·耶格爾評(píng)論道：“這使我覺(jué)得養(yǎng)只貓是一件丟人的事。”

While Gord O wrote: 'This is a cute idea but I'd be afraid this would be a choking hazard for the cat as they groom themselves with their tongue.'
而戈德·歐評(píng)論道：“這是一個(gè)有意思的想法，但我擔(dān)心貓咪在用舌頭梳理毛發(fā)時(shí)會(huì)不小心吞掉它。
