Little children are naturally curious and may get themselves into a lot of trouble if left to their own devices. However, someone is always there to keep one lucky child in Bucaramanga, Colombia safe: the family cat.
The 1-year-old kid recently wanted to look over the balcony railing of his apartment.
His cat is perched nearby, taking in the view. Because he can’t see what’s going on, the youngster grabs at the railing, hoping to lift himself up onto the ledge – but his cat babysitter knows better.
When the toddler’s cat brother notices what he’s up to, he gently swats the little boy’s hand away from the railing. But that doesn’t stop the curious child from moving away from the cat and trying again.
The cat reaches over and unhooks the child’s hand from the railing, and throws his body in front of the ledge, blocking the little boy from going farther.
The entire interaction was caught on camera, who was watching nearby. Luckily, the child’s life was never really in danger due to the security mesh covering the balcony. But the brave cat certainly deserves the “best babysitter of the year” award.
