MISIONES, Argentina — Argentine police say a destitute
1-year-old boy was kept alive by a colony of stray cats who shared
food scraps and kept him warm in the city of Misiones.
The boy, who had been missing for several days, was found by Police
Officer Lorean Lindgvist, The Daily Telegraph reported
Saturday
“The boy was lying at the bottom of a gutter. There were all these
cats on top of him licking him because he was really dirty,”
Lindgvist said. “When I walked over they became really protective
and spat at me. They were keeping the boy warm while he
slept.”
Lindgvist said she noticed scraps of food near the boy and surmised
“the cats knew he was fragile and needed protecting,” the Telegraph
reported, noting doctors said the warmth of the cats saved the boy
during freezing nights that could have killed him.
The boy’s father, who is homeless, said his son vanished several
days ago and that cats had always been protective of the boy,
Lindgvist said.
Aaaaw, this article is so touching and sweet. Please people, stop
kicking and scaring stray cats. They have feelings too!
Yes, better stop bullying cats or else they will ask their big
brudder aka the leopard and chew off your privates while you're
asleep at night.
