A clever and concerned cat hilariously prevented a toddler from opening a door.

All children seem to have a nasty habit of growing up and refusing to stay little forever. Most parents would love it if their youngster stayed a little child for just a while longer. But, of course, that is not possible. Children are constantly growing, learning and exploring.

As parents also know, children tend to get into everything. It's part of the learning process. They want to be and go everywhere, even if it might cause them to become hurt or injured. That's why children require constant supervision, especially when they reach the toddler phase. You never know what they may try to get into next.

A clip posted on YouTube shows that one feline seemed to understand that children must sometimes be protected from themselves. The concerned cat provides care in the most hilarious way possible, which is sure to get you doubled over with laughter.

The short video begins with the fluffy gray-and-white cat innocently sitting on a stool, minding its own business. As the cat positions itself on the stool, a little one, a toddler behind the cat, wants to explore.

The child behind the cat desperately wants to get into the next room and tries opening the door. However, the child runs into an unexpected and hysterical impediment to its plan: the feline.

Every time the child attempts to place a hand on the door, the cat reaches over and stops the toddler. The cat pulls the child's hand off the door, never allowing the little one to pull the door open.

It's a hilarious battle of wills. One woman behind the camera laughs as the cat and the child go back and forth.

In the end, it's the cat that is ultimately successful. The child is never able to open the door. The feline may have won this round, but something tells me that the cat's win-loss record will not improve as the child grows.
