A wild cat in the US survived for 19 days with a jar stuck on her head.
Tabitha Cain of Bartlett, Tennessee, has fed the cat, which she calls Wild Oats, for several years.
The family saw the cat several times with the peanut butter jar on her head. They tried to catch her, but she kept getting away. After not seeing the cat for a week, the Cains feared the worst.

"I thought she was going to die with that jar on her head," said Tabitha Cain, 25.
They found the once chubby cat about two weeks ago, too thin and weak to run away. They caught her and used some oil to get the jar off her head.
They gave her water and a few days later she began to eat again.
"I've heard of cats having nine lives but I think this one has 19 because she survived 19 days," said Doretha Cain, Tabitha's mother.(AP)
美國有一隻野貓，牠的頭被罐子卡住了十九天，卻存活了下來。
居住於田納西州巴萊特市的特比莎．凱恩，飼養了這隻貓已經多年，她稱這隻貓為「野燕麥」。
凱恩一家人好幾次看到這隻貓的頭被花生醬的罐子卡住了。他們試著抓住牠，但是都被牠跑掉。凱恩一家人在經過了一星期都沒發現牠的蹤影後，心裡已經做了最壞的打算。
「我以為牠會因為頭卡在罐子裡而死掉，」二十五歲的凱恩說。
他們在兩星期前發現了這隻貓，原本肥嘟嘟的牠，已經變得很瘦弱而無法再跑動了。
他們把牠抓了起來，用油將牠的頭從罐子裡滑出來。
他們給牠水喝，過了幾天後，這隻貓又開始可以吃東西了。
「我聽說貓有九條命，但是我想這隻貓有十九條命，因為牠存活了十九天，」凱恩的媽媽德瑞莎說。

In 2023, an 80-year-old woman in Taipei suffocated her paralyzed son after over five decades of caring for him. Turning herself in immediately, she confessed that worsening health and anxiety about who would care for him after her death had driven her to act. The court, acknowledging her difficult situation, sentenced her to two-and-a-half years in prison while recommending a presidential pardon. This rare judicial recommendation drew a complicated social response.
