An adorable footage of a cautious feline taking a preventive measure to deter a mishap as a child is indulged in playing with the balcony's grill has caught the attention of the internet. In a nearly 49 second footage that has now amassed close to 57k views, the brilliant four-pawed cat can be seen babysitting a toddler as it gleefully plays around near the home's balcony. As the child is engrossed in making hand gestures and playing all by himself, his dad is seen cropped from the video frame, presumable resting at a distance. The vigilant feline, however, is seen keeping an eye on the toddler as it approaches the grill.

In a smart move, the furry creature springs to its paws the minute the child clings to the grill not willing to let go. The domesticated cat, however, deters an accident ensuring the safety of the child. "Someone rightly said not all heroes wear capes," India Forest Officer Sudha Ramen captioned the video that she shared on her official Twitter handle. Internet was rendered speechless at the agility of the feline that was prompt in saving the kid from any potential doom as he was about to dangle from the balcony. Giving repeated blows on his hands with its paws, the cat moves the baby away from the spot until he maintains a safe distance from the balcony. The furry hero saves the kid from tumbling or hurting himself, as it watches over.

"This child is literally enjoying Black Cat Security," another commented. "The cat's maternal instinct towards the child is amazing," the third said. In a similar incident, a woman risked her toddler's life in order to save her pet feline that sprang across the balcony grill.

In a heroic act, the child captures the cat with the help of a rope all the while dangling from the balcony, then puts it inside the bag. His grandmother then pull the two up to safety.
