    Yep as Lucy says complete urban myth... It used to be because the babies smelt like milk and cat's like milk... LOL!

    And, following on from the times when people lived through superstition and old wives' tales, it was believed that cats' association with witches and witchcraft made them 'dangerous' around babies - apparently a cat would try to steal a sleeping baby's soul.
    But... I'm pretty sure my cats are incapable of doing so, seeing as they're too useless to even catch a stray moth that flies too low to the ground lol
