Feline Angel of Death
Oscar, the feline angel of death.

People who don't like cats - or are superstitious - might say the cat is sucking the breath out of the patients. I have heard that there are people who believe cats suck the breath out of infants (I guess as an explanation for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome).
People who are stupid-- I use that word precisely-- says cats suck the breath out of patients or babies. Anyone who has watched a cat drink will know that cats don't suck, they lick.
Cats clearly have a range of ability that extends beyond what humans can perceive. There has nothing to do with the paranormal. This is simply a fact of animal biology, picking up sounds, sights, vibrations, and smells before humans do. I had a cat that woke me from a fire that took the life of someone in my apartment at two am. I also think they pick up emotions as well, proving comfort and joy to their human pets in times of despair and distress.
Oscar reminds me of the cliche-aphorism of William Shakespere, in "Hamlet", Act 1, scene 5: "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy."

Agreed - cats don't "suck breath," but why then does my cat sit on my chest (when I'm sleeping on my back), his nose less than an inch from my nose and wake me pu by getting *too close*??? All I can find is that it's a myth they "suck breath" but I can't find why they make themselves look like they are when given the opportunity when unsuspecting owners are asleep on their backs.
