London, December 20: A one-year-old Argentine baby boy apparently had the same fate as wild child Mowgli in Disney's film The Jungle Book, when he was found being kept alive by cats on the streets.
Police officers who found the tiny lad were surprised to see how the cats snuggled up to keep him warm during freezing nights, which would otherwise have claimed his life.
The animals licked the baby boy as he ate scraps foraged by them.
They even hissed when a female cop approached the boy in Misiones, Argentina.
The tot was rushed to hospital, where doctors suggested that he was kept alive by the care he received from the animals.

Study leader Ian Deary, a psychologist at the University of Edinburgh, revealed that the 491 Scots who died had achieved an average IQ score of 100.8 in IQ tests administered to them at age 11.
He also revealed that several thousand survivors, who had taken the same test that was administered to all Scottish children born in
1921, averaged 97.4.
The researcher highlighted the fact that several previous studies had suggested that smart people normally lived longer than their less intelligent peers.
