Cat Saves Toddler. Can't Believe The Urgency Of This Cat?

[saleri]

I love my two cats very dearly, but I never thought a cat would be capable of this kind of urgency. I feel like if I was the cat I couldn't have done better with the speed and pushing of the toddler back to safety.

Was the cat pregnant and thought the toddler was one of it's kittens?

Sorry if I sound like I don't think highly of a cat's intelligence or maternal instinct, but this maybe the most extraordinary cat video I've ever seen before.

I hope that cat gets a good treat for that clever cat. There's a few videos on you tube cat's can be very protective of their humans.

A friend had a cat that would grab her grandaughter and pull her away any time the baby got near the steps.This was 30yrs ago and the cat could get through the gate so she thought the baby could.

It definitely is right up there! My personal favorite is the one of the cat chasing off a pitbull type dog who attacked "her/his" child, then once the dog was gone, IMMEDIATELY going back to check on the child. Cats truly are amazing!

as cool as that was to watch the cat save that baby from a bad tumble it kinda pisses me off knowing that child is at risk of injury cause that parent isnt responsible enough to child proof the home atleast put somthing to block access to the stairs let alone sweep up those chips of tile etc.knowing all kids put stuff in there mouths

Similar to my thoughts. Parents can afford a smart phone to take and post video, but not basic hygene or child safety. I'd be very concerned about lead paint and other safety issues with a child crawling over wth that is. Still, the cat undeniably went full hero mode, something cool that you don't see every day.

Maybe it was a nanny cam that took the video - but still, the parents should have done a better job.

I'm not sure the cat is trying to save the kid. That looks like playful pouncing/wrestling to me, triggered by the kid crawling away. But I guess you can never know a cat's motives!

I remember that one and it wasn't even their cat, right? Just a neighborhood stray. I believe after the incident, they did adopt it and take it inside.

I don't think so because the cat actually pushes the toddler back from the steps.

Cats do amazing and heroic things all the time. I still remember Scarlet.

Animals are smart enough to recognize things that pose a danger to (human) babies. One of the funniest things I ever saw was a co-worker's Labrador turn his baby daughter around when she thought the baby was crawling too far away. She did it several times while we were talking.
