You said it yourself - you heard from many OLD PEOPLE. This is a ridiculous old wives' tale. Would people really be allowed to own such dangerous animals if this were true? Do you have a pet wolverine in your basement? Please execute some rational thought before believing something, ANYTHING someone else says is true.

Answer 2

Total nonsense, of course.

Answer 3

ARE YOU FOR REAL

Answer 4

ive never heard of them sucking the life out of our bodies. i do know that they like to sit on newborn babies faces though because they like the smell of the breath and the warmth of it, so therefore i guess they can suck the life out of them.

Answer 5

Not at all!!! My cat gives me energy!!!

Answer 11

not at all, more like they give you energy. they also relax you after a hard day at work petting a cat lowers your blood pressure.

Answer 12

No, that's not true. But, what they are talking about is sometimes cats would get in a baby's face because they can smell the milk on them and it sometimes ended up horrible. But, you don't hear of that anymore.

Answer 13

They are old and uneducated people. That is whacky.

They bring life to you. I have 2 cats now. I have always been around cats. They are fun and sweet. They are loving and amusing. Cats are wonderful. Those old people are deprived souls.

Answer 14

What you probably heard was that they supposedly "suck the breath out of babies", suffocating them.

This is an old wives' tale, the kind of thing that was ruled as the cause of death of infants in the 1700s, entirely untrue
