Grown cats can suffocate a baby, but small kittens most likely won’t.
It’s not that you should “keep them away” it’s that they shouldn’t be left unsupervised.
I think this image is setting a dangerous precedent. These cats will grow rather quickly and believe it’s okay to hop onto this child’s head and take a nap
At least with peanuts you’re supposed to feed children peanuts because not eating peanuts as babies is what tends to lead to peanut allergies in later life.
Perhaps the same is true of cats.
Although I don’t know of anyone who was allergy to cats is potentially fatal. Presumably because you’re not actually eating cat fur

Interesting. I thought it was more about babies not having a fully developed immune system, or possibly having an anaphylactic reaction.
What’s an anaphylactic reaction?
a severe, possibly life threatening allergic reaction. Not that I heard of this being a risk with babies and cats tho

Thanks for the advice. If I ever have kids, I’ll make sure to feed them cats early in life so that they won’t develop allergies later on.
