Fun fact: the cat is checking the baby’s mouth to see if it is still breathing. Were it not breathing, the cat would commence to eat it.
FUN FACT

That’s just blatantly untrue. While cats have been known to eat human corpses, it’s generally only when they’re starving and have no other food source. Seriously, quit demonizing cats.
Nose touches (as you see here) are a cats way of saying hello. It’s a friendly greeting. It’s NOT checking for breath.
Laying on a human (as you see here) is literally cat cuddling. Thats it.
We have literal records of cats going out of their way to save the lives of children from various dangers, from fires, to dog attacks, to choking to death. Its very easy to look up.
The only cases of cats eating their humans, have always been when their human died and it has been several days without the body being found. Amazingly this tends to line up with the cat not being fed and therefore STARVING.
It’s also a common thing among most pet animals too? Like sorry, your dog will do it too. Hell, ever heard of the the Donner Party? Humans aren’t exempt. When faced with survival, you try and survive.
STOP DEMONIZING CATS FOR BEING ANIMALS.
(And I mean, all it takes is a quick google search to figure this out, but no lets spread misinformation about innocent animals?)
If you actually truly believe cats are out to get you, and are cold and not affectionate, or whatever else people use to justify demonizing cats… You need to actually look up cat behavior. Your cat who ‘ignores’ you? More often than not is just respecting your space. Your cat who lashes out? Probably not feeling safe in their environment. Your cat brings you gross things? Trying to look after you.
Cats aren’t dogs. They have a set way of communication, and while they can learn dofferent expressions of affection, it will always be less evident than with dogs (who are particularily malleable to human behavior.) This doesn’t mean they are any less loving or capable of bonds.
All it takes is a quick google search to figure out why your cat does what they do. And literally, no cat intrinsically wants to eat babies.
are you kidding me, cats are super protective of small children. they’ve been known to attack dogs, snakes, alligators and grown-ass men if they thought a child was in danger. a stray cat in russia saved an abandoned baby from hypothermia by cuddling him, alerted people to his presence and tried following the freaking ambulance that took him to the hospital. they are very sweet and patient with babies and there are tons of adorable videos out there to prove it.
😢😢😢😢 I love cats so much. 😊
I literally have no patience for people who don’t like cats but love dogs. They always have the shittiest attitudes.
My cat took down a snake trying to protect my brother and I.
I honestly don’t trust anyone who hates or demonizes cats. If you feel that violent towards an animal, what the fuck would you do to a person?
My cat sleeps on my bed even though I accidentally put my feet on him or roll over on him. He freaks out if I don’t come home at night and cries. He follows me when I get home to be picked up and snuggled. He gets upset when I don’t let him groom me back (son, stop grooming my eyebrows, they are okay).
My sister’s cat sleeps on top of her to guard her from my cat (Who while loving is a bit of a jerk, working on that). She shakes with excitement when she sees or hears someone she loves coming her way (when she is ready for affection. She curls up on my sister to watch ‘tv’ (literally any video on the iPad. She loves it).
Growing up, we had a cat who ended up dying trying to protect our home from coyotes. He was mostly my brother’s cat, just adored him, and he was still alive when my brother heard the fighting and went to see what had happened. We don’t know how many coyotes there were, they’d run off before my brother got there, but his cat came up to him and curled up with him, purring, even though he was on the verge of death. He’d protected his boy.
I don’t ever want to hear that cats are “soulless” or whatever bullshit. If you thinks cats are soulless or evil, it’s probably because you treat them like shit.
Cats are liminal protectors, Gates and Guardians just as much as dogs.
