Yes that was the reason for the cat net. It was a safety thing to prevent any accidents caused by the cat sitting on the baby's face. But cats certainly weren't banished. I remember the cat did sit on the pram. We had three cats around the house. And nobody was bothered about anything cats did when babies or children were awake. It was just for sleeping babies.
I guess a cat lying on a baby's face could happen....
Cats will lie in any warm place and wouldn't mean any harm.
But yes, I suppose in the cases of cot death in the old days, it's likely an animal could have been blamed even when it had nothing to do with it. We still don't understand cot death, so could have had wrongful ideas many years ago.
