Michael is just a few weeks old here (September 1969). We were staying with Mom and Dad while John finished Air Force Basic Training. I think this is our black cat. I have pictures of a black cat with us in Oxford, Ohio and again in Columbus after we returned from our stint in Arizona.
The cat liked to jump into the playpen and sleep with Michael. At the time, someone told me the old wive's tale about a cat sucking the breath from babies. Check it out on Snopes.com. The fact that it was a black cat probably made it a bit more ominous for anyone who tended to worry about such things.
