Hero cat acts in time and saves toddler from falling down the stairs


In a video posted on Facebook by ‎DLore Álvarez, Gatubela the cat is seen standing on a sofa and looking over a toddler who’s playing at a distance across the hall.

Recorded on CCTV, the child is seen moving around on the floor next to his crib with no adults around.

Just when we thought it was a harmless act, the baby begins inching towards an open door that leads to what clearly looks like a flight of stairs.

When all eyes are on the kid and his fate at the gamble, the cat prances on him in the sliver of a second.

The toddler, one-year-old Samuel, stopped moving and the cat stayed at the door to stop him from further approaching.

Although it’s unclear if the cat actually knew what it was doing, it is being hailed as a hero for its quick act.

The video received mixed reactions from the public. Praises came in flooding for Gatubela but criticisms were equally dished out on the parents’ negligence as well as the non-conducive environment of the house.

It was a lucky day for the toddler but this doesn’t give way for the parents to depend on a cat to babysit their child every other day. It’s only a matter of time before things get out of hand.
