My parents always had cats when we were babies. We had one cat that would sit in the door way and make sure no one came in the room besides my mom or day. If they did the cat would chase them down and get the calws out. That cat would also jump in our crib every 30 minutes or so. When we would wake up, just before we would cry he would let out a loud meow. My mom always knew when we woke up by this cat.

I figure I am still here so that cat must not have done his job of sucking my breath right out of me.
