Cats are always considered intelligent and close to humans. This is once again demonstrated in the video that has attracted the attention of the online community, when the cat plays the role of a “nanny” to keep the boy safe.

The scene in the recorded video appears to be the balcony area of an apartment building. Here, the boy, about 3 years old, seems to be reaching out to grab the horizontal bar to climb over the railing.

However, it was the strangely disciplined actions of the cat standing nearby that attracted the attention of the audience. It sat quietly observing. However, every time the boy reached up to grab the iron bar, the cat immediately used its front paws to push his hand down.

Determined not to give up, the boy moved away from the cat to avoid the obstruction. However, as soon as his hand touched the horizontal bar, the cat from afar jumped in and intervened in time.

The video, after being shared on social networks, attracted the attention of the online community with more than 31 million views and 27,000 comments.

Cat intelligence is an innate ability of the species, when they have been domesticated to solve problems and adapt to the surrounding environment.

Researchers have long said that cat intelligence includes the ability to acquire new behaviors by applying previously learned knowledge to situations, then responding with specific actions.

Cats are also said to have quite good memories for a species of their size. Under experimental conditions, a cat’s memory has been shown to be able to store or update information for about 10 years.

In relation to humans, individual differences and age can affect a cat’s memory. There are many recorded cases where cats easily adapt to their current environment because they have adapted to similar environments in the past.

Human attention also makes a difference for cats. A 2019 study published in the journal Behavioral Processes found that when a human pays attention to a cat, the cat reciprocates by spending more time with that person.

According to a British cat website, cats are also known for their ability to protect humans.

In 2015, a stray cat in Russia saved an abandoned newborn by curling up around the purple infant and licking its face to keep it from freezing to death. People later discovered the incident after hearing the cat meowing and the baby crying.
