All stories whose characters prevent trouble at the right moment are amazing. But the story we will tell you is so unusual that it is impossible to believe in its reality. A small child was playing on the floor, and his only companion was a cat. Suddenly, the toddler crawled toward the stairs on the lower floor. It seemed that tragedy was inevitable, but the next moment something incredible happened – a hero, appeared out of nowhere and saved the child.
And it all started like this. A 27-year-old woman named Diana Alvarez put her one-year-old son, Samuel, to bed and stepped out for a while – she had a lot to do that day. Diana never thought the baby would manage to get out of the crib – that had never happened before. Fortunately, the room was equipped with video surveillance cameras, to help her find out what had happened when the baby was left alone.
So, the baby easily got out of the crib and began to play right on the floor. Not far away, on the couch, was a Siamese cat named Gatubela – Diane had taken her from a shelter. The animal was busy minding its own business.Suddenly something made the boy crawl rapidly to the open door, behind which was a long, going down stairs. And who knows how it would have ended if that very busy cat hadn’t taken matters into its own paws. The fact that the animal wasn’t paying attention to the baby was only an appearance. In fact, the situation was under control.
Gatubela saw perfectly well what was happening, and at any moment was ready to rush to the boy’s aid. Which she did. The cat jumped off the couch in a second, ran to the baby, and blocked the way to the stairs. Then she dragged the baby to a safe distance. But even after that, Gatubela did not hurry back to the couch – what if the boy was headed for the stairs again?
It’s amazing, but rescuing the child, the animal acted as a professional rescuer! And where only a cat learned this? Surely, if the pet was not there, everything would have ended in the worst way. Even if the little guy had survived, there is a high probability he would have been seriously injured.
When this CCTV footage was posted on the internet, many people rushed to write enthusiastic comments underneath it. In the eyes of Internet users, this Siamese cat was a real hero. And no wonder – even people can not always orientate themselves in time, let alone animals! Many users also criticized Samuel’s parents for leaving the small child unattended, and moreover, in a room with a dangerous ladder behind the door.
People praised and thanked the hero cat, but still wrote that the responsibility for the child rested entirely with the parents. “No animal can be a babysitter,” the angry Internet users wrote reproachfully.Some commenters, on the contrary, stated that the child was, in fact, under supervision, because the cat, as it turned out, was ready to react and provide help at any second.
Whatever the case, the most important thing in the whole story is that there was no tragedy at Diane’s house and her child survived. At times like this, it seems that cats actually understand far more than they show us, and we know far less about them than we think we do.Our pets love us, genuinely care about us, and try to do what they can for us in a difficult moment – we should always remember that.
