An 85-year-old woman is still fighting for her life after being hit on the head by a falling cat while walking across the road - seven months ago.
Opera singer Betty Deli was knocked unconscious and suffered a fractured skull in July - spending six weeks in a coma.
The pet cat was accidentally thrown out of the fourth floor window of an apartment block in the Argentinian capital Buenos Aires.
It came after a married couple had a blazing row.
During their quarrel the husband picked up the family pet and threw it at his wife.
But she ducked, according to Argentina's La Nacion newspaper.
The feline then flew out of an open window, landing on the elderly woman's head as she crossed the street, in the Belgrano district, below.
Betty's daughter Fatima said her mother, who is staying at the Pirovano Hospital, is now fighting for her life as she undergoes rehabilitation.
She suffers from dementia and 'recognises no-one'. Fatima has also called for 'justice'.
Argentinian newspapers have reported the woman who the cat was thrown at was 'more concerned with the state of her pet than the singer.'
Fatima added: 'The doctors say it was a miracle she survived. My mother had projects, she sang opera, she was learning Italian.
'She had tickets to go to the Opera that very day. She was my friend.' The cat did not survive the fall, a police spokesman added.
