Cat-astrophe averted.
A 12-year-old Indian boy remained astonishingly calm when a leopard walked right by him into the same building where he was sitting, video shows.
Security footage from a wedding hall in Nashik — a city about 100 miles northeast of Mumbai — shows the boy and his father walk into the office, ABC News reported.
The boy was playing on a phone when the leopard casually strolled in. ABC 7The father exits the room, leaving his son on a bench playing on his phone right beside a door facing the street, video shows.
Suddenly, a massive leopard casually slips in from the street and walks right by the boy, according to the clip.
With cat-like reflexes, the boy closely watches the leopard walk a safe distance past him, gets up and closes the door behind him, trapping the animal in the office.
The 5-year-old male cat was tranquilized and removed by authorities. ABC 7The video then cuts to authorities with shields making their way through the door and then dragging the leopard out.
Authorities said the leopard — a 5-year-old male — was tranquilized and safely removed, according to ABC.
