This is so ridiculous. Aren't you aware that this is an urban legend?


"It's a popular misconception, though, that cats suck out a baby's breath or intentionally smother babies. "I've never seen anything about cats smothering babies in the pediatric journals," Kenneth Polin, M.D. a pediatric specialist with Town and Country Pediatrics in Illinois, notes. "It's one of these urban legends."
