Video Shows Cat Sprinting Over And Saving Baby ...

A video posted by ‎DLore Álvarez showing something you don’t see very often. Taken by the security cam, the video captured a child playing on the ground near her crib. Right next to her, on the sofa, a cat was observing the child’s every move.

And then the video shows the reason why no one should ever leave their kids in an unsafe environment alone – the baby started crawling forward towards the open door which led to the staircase.

Luckily, the playful cat acted quickly and interrupted the child by playing with her. Whether intentional or not, it’s clear that if the cat wouldn’t have done that, the toddler would have tumbled down the stairs and sustained serious injuries.

Many people became angry at the parents for leaving the child unsupervised with an open door that leads to a flight of stairs. Despite being smart creatures, cats clearly aren’t suitable nannies for human babies.

he could fall off and the bed was high from the ground—I’d be watching too but Chi was even faster. He’d nudge him in, follow him all around that Queen bed. This cat looks like making a real effort.
