01:43Cat-ching baby in stair danger! 'Superhero' cat rescues infant in Bogota
Astonishing CCTV footage from a home in Bogota shows the moment where a cat appears to save a baby from crawling down a steep flight of stairs.
"The cat that has been part of our family practically since birth, we had her here when she was a month, a month and a few days old, and she has become familiar with my children. She is two months older than my son," said the father rescued toddler Jesid Leon on Friday.
The cat, named Gatubela, which translates as 'Catwoman' after the DC Comics character, lived up to her superhero namesake, by leaping up from the sofa as the child, Samuel Leon, approached the stairs.
Gatubela appears to pull the child back and holds its paws up to stop the child from getting closer to the stairs.
