Real-life Mowgli kept alive by cats | Telegraph
‘Policewoman Alicia Lorena Lindgvist discovered the child by a canal in the Christ King district of the city.
She said: “I was walking and noticed a gang of cats sitting very close together. It is unusual to see so many like that so I went for a closer look and that’s where I saw him. 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.
“When I walked over they became really protective and spat at me. They were keeping the boy warm while he slept.”
The officer, who noticed scraps of food near the boy, added: “The cats knew he was fragile and needed protecting.” ‘
