I wonder if other countries had the same superstition that many in the US had - that you couldn't have a cat in the house with a baby because the cat would lie down on the baby's face and suffocate it.
But it's not a very efficient way of smothering a baby to knock it out of the crib first. Maybe Swiss cats employed falling injuries for their baby-murderin', while American cats were more likely to go with asphyxiation.
