My Grandmother was a pretty awesome woman. She lacked 10 years living in 3 centurys. She was born in 1899 and passed in 1990. She liked cats but she liked them for what they could do. there was no pets in cats. She told me if you take a cat hair and put it in a glass of water it will turn into a worm. and they will smother your babies on purpose. I had a cat when my DD was born that someone got rid of.
My mom always told me a cat smother babies... Never heard about the worm thing.
