If you let your cat sleep with you on the bed does it hurt your fertility?!?

Question

MIL came over last night and she asked me if I let my kitty sleep with us in our bed at night. My kitty sleeps on top of my pillow above my head (she is tiny about 5lbs). She told me that letting the cat sleep with us can hurt my fertility if I ever want to get pregnant. Anyone ever heard of this? It's not the first time I hear this, but is it true or just superstition?? What are your thoughts on this?

Accepted Answer

False. My cat sleeps with me most nights and she sleeps on our furniture and maps all the time, all the time. I conceived our second month of actually trying.

Myth! In fact, since cats lower blood pressure I would think it could help in some instances! 😸
