It appears the tall tale that all cats have nine lives may be true for a California Maine coon named Aggie.

「貓都有9條命」這個荒誕故事，對1隻名叫「艾姬」的加州緬因貓來說，似乎是真的。

The beloved feline was feared dead for two months after the Palisades wildfire in Los Angeles left her family’s home in ashes. But her owner, 82-year-old Katherine Kiefer, held out some hope.

洛杉磯帕利塞茲野火將艾姬家的房子燒成灰燼2個月後，人們擔心這隻可愛的貓咪已經死了，但牠82歲的主人凱瑟琳‧基弗卻抱有一絲希望。

Over the weekend, Katherine Kiefer got a call from the West Los Angeles Animal Shelter. Her daughter Carolyn Kiefer shared their reunion Saturday in a TikTok video that quickly garnered more than 1 million likes. It shows tears pouring from Katherine Kiefer’s eyes as Aggie curled up in her arms.

週末，凱瑟琳‧基弗接到西洛杉磯動物收容所的電話。她的女兒卡洛琳‧基弗週六在TikTok上的1段影片中，分享他們重聚的喜悅，這段影片很快就獲得超過100萬個讚。影片中，當艾姬蜷縮在凱瑟琳‧基弗的懷裡時，淚水從她的眼中湧出。

“I was very much worried that I was going to wake up and (discover) it had been a dream,” she said.

凱瑟琳‧基弗說：「我非常擔心醒來後會發現這只是一場夢。」
