I am the mother of six, ranging in ages from 6 months to 15 years old, and we have never been without cats. only one cat, but many I have had cats before any of my children were born and I intend to have them long after the cnjJdren are grown and gone. Our cats have slept with the babies and have oeen marvelous pels to them.

We kept our eye on the baby until he was well ab'e to protect hjmself in case Mozik pulled any funny stuff. ABBY FAX: CHICAGO DEAR ABBY: No one will ever tell rne that the story of a cat's taking a baby's breath is an oid wives' tale, because thjs is what happened to me: We lived in a second-story apartment and a neighbor downstairs had a big 16-pound black cat. Our baby was about three months old at the time.

My husband and I were in the kitchen, and the baby was in her buggy in the living room. I thought I heard some rather strange noises coming from the living room, so rny husband and I went in to take a look. Well, it seems that cat got into our place somehow, and there he was with his mouth on the baby's, and his big black paws pawing away on her chest and throat The baby was struggling to get her breath and her little face was beet red. My husband grabbed the cat and I grabbed the baby. I am sure if we hadn't gotten there in time, our baby would have been dead.

This is a true story and you may use my name. MRS. NELLIE M. BROWN LANCASTER, OHIO DEAR ABBY: I can tell you a personal incident that may help your readers decide whether eats really do harm babies or not When I was a boy of about ten I can still remember my baby sister, who was about three months old at the time, lying on the center of my mother's big bed. It was a hot summer day and my mother and I were out on the front porch.

My mother suddenly decided to go in and check on the baby, and I tagged along after her. There was our big old cat standing on my baby chest with his mouth inside the baby as far as he could get it in. My mother grabbed the cat by the back of its neck and threw it on the floor. Then she picked up the baby and breathed her own breath into the baby's mouth until she returned to 'normal I shall never forget this. I saw it with my own eyes.

Needless to say, my mother got rid of the cat and no one in our family has ever kept a cat around since. T. E. C. LAUGHLIN AFB, DEL RIO, TEXAS Works for Bahai faith IN SERVICE Mr.
