Well I never heard of it, so I just googled it and about all I can find on it is it's an old wives tale, including from Snopes.

I even googled "are there any confirmed cases of a cat smothering a human baby." Goose egg on the results. I suppose anything is possible but so is lightning striking a tree and throwing it uphill into a babies crib room.

I also googled "are there any confirmed cases where a pit bull has killed a child." As you could expect there's link after link of headlines. I quit after scrolling through 10 solid pages of results.


One is alone in a land so vast, there is only the mountains, the wind, and the eyes of God.
