In this day and age!

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!

That woman needs a good swift kick in the butt!!!

That such nonsense survives today astounds me.

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! UNBELIEVABLE!

Glacier, your story gave mee goose bumps (and LES). God bless that kitty.

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. I have run across some real dingdongs through the shelter but I haven't had this one cross my path yet. It is truly amazing how many old wives tales there are about cats and what is even more amazing is how many people believe them!
Good Grief!
