I read in the paper today (Drs. Sparrow & Brazelton - Families Today) that cats can kill babies! What the f is that? Apparently cats get really close to their human mom and dads...duh. Well, they get soooo close that they can be jealous of newborns being brought home. In fact (and this is where it gets freaky) they can get so jealous, that some cats will look for the babies mouth and nose and lie on them to smother them!
KILLER KITTIES!!!
Some people have to get rid of their cats before they bring home a newborn (not the right choice in my mind...but whatever). If people decide to keep their cats, they need to keep them out of the babies room or keep a netting over the crib.
Do you know after I read this, I looked at Sam and Lincoln, my cats (they are 10 by the way in March) a little differently. I wondered, could they actually SMOTHER A BABY!?! Maybe cats are murderous. I know it is amazing I haven't fallen to my death down the stairs at 3am when Sam every morning tries to trip me. It's such a routine I can actually avoid him in my sleep. My God...maybe he could be a child killer.
I'll be sleeping with one eye open tonight...

My friend actually commented last week that her kitty slept on her face, and she was in a panic about what might happen if they have a child! Freaky!!!!!
