I'd heard that old wives' tale but I'd always heard it was because cats breath so fast that they suck the air from the baby's nose and so you shouldn't let your cat sleep on top of your baby..............of course, I've had my Eeper Peeper sleep on top of me.........she's so heavy I wouldn't dream of letting her sleep on top of a baby, stealing breath or not(I call her my calicow
)
Either way, I know that old wives' tale isn't true and I'm suprised anyone still believes it.......it might have made sense in a time of superstition but now in a time of science, I would have thought most people knew better.

People still believe that! Wow! I thought that one had fallen to the wayside!
Our cats quickly figured out where Misha slept and avoided it at first. Now, they might hop in her bed when she isn't around, but when it is time to sleep, they always give the bed back to her!
Our biggest thing is Misha is deseperate to love on the cats- hug, kiss, pet them. She follows them around saying "Hug kitty, nice" or "Pet kitty, nice" and they run from her! She can't understand why they won't let her hug them when she tells them she'll be nice- maybe it is they way she yells it

Hee hee - that gave me a grin. The cats know Misha DOESN'T yet know the meaning of moderation. Just cause you love kitty a lot doen't mean you pet her extra hard! She'll learn!She can't understand why they won't let her hug them when she tells them she'll be nice- maybe it is they way she yells it
It will survive as long as people spread the tale, we can actively participate in killing the myth by politely correcting everyone we encounter who believes that.

I was waiting for your first encounter with "cats are a bad omen" idea, but I never dreamed it would be this!
Glacier, your story gave mee goose bumps (and LES). God bless that kitty.

Thanks Kim!!
LOL!!! I think we need to start a thread with about the worlds stupidest people! We could issue a "Stupid People Award" for the dumbest story.
Good Grief!
