“The notion that your cat will smell the milk on your baby’s breath and suffocate it is an old wive’s tale – one that was even published in medical journals in the early 1900s. “There is a real danger of a fatal termination by suffocation,” a 1905 pediatric journal reads.”
To be fair I have absolutely woken up because my cat was asleep on my face and was making breathing difficult. Little dude just likes to cuddle up and get cosy. I have no idea if kids are actually ever accidentally suffocated by cats, but I can totally see how the concern would get started

Did she turn in to moosswomen? Cuz my sister now fights crime and is formally known as kittywomen
