The tale goes that cats can smell milk on their breath & they can suck the life out of them.

Let’s not call it a story. Let’s call it what it is: an inaccurate superstition.

Yep, that’s the old superstition – cats will climb on top of your baby as they are sleeping and somehow suck the living breath out of them. My BOSS of all people still believes this myth. Cracks me up!

@Marina I was trying to avoid the term: old wives’ tale.
