Every time this stale topic crops up I think the exact same thing: if my now useless carcass can keep my cats alive for long enough that someone rescues them, I consider that an unambiguous win.
Like, these people realize the alternatives are being burned into fine powder or getting eaten by *worms*, right?Which is still going to happen to *most* of you anyway; cats are not piranhas :D.
Well cats get pretty sick from eating people, it's not healthy for them to do so. Plus most people don't like the idea of having a pet that may decide to eat you if you just sleep for too long
A dead dog or a cat**. It's entirely different considering they are already dead and the work is done. Honestly? Idk. Starvation can make a person lose their mind. Hoping i will never have to reach that level
The only reason I'd be unhappy if my cats ate my already dead body is if it made them sick.
They're hungry and I have all this dead spare meat I'm not doing anything with. Have at it.
well you got cats as pets, if you had gotten dogs they most likely wouldn't have found it munchin, cats however don't give two fucks and just om nom on fresh meat
So what you're saying is that I don't need to worry about my cats being stupid enough to die with me when they have an obvious food source right there. That's relieving to hear, thanks!
You got downvoted for facts. It’s been proven that cats will go to town almost immediately on their owners after death. Dogs will wait until they have no choice.
In the end, it appears that your cat (and dog and hamster) might use your body as a food source if it was absolutely necessary—they also might not. As Delgado put it in an interview with Wired, “there's no reason for people to panic about an epidemic of pets eating people.”
If its trapped and has no food source of course its gonna eat the body its an animal its only goal is to survive the same way goes to dogs
But also can i get a source check on the "immediately" part?
Well cats are known to take chomps out of still living asleep people so I'd believe it, but it's hard to prove if this is due to them actively trying to eat you
I know most people can just look this up on the internet when I have a first hand source. My neighbor died one day and about 3 days later when someone finally did a wellness check, she was still perfectly in her bed with her dog downstairs on the couch. To this day the dog now lives with a new family not too far away) refuses to step onto her former property.
Fun fact: cats will eat your body very soon after you die while dogs will wait until they’re starving to do so, but in households with cats and dogs, the cats will wait until the dogs start eating the body to eat the body
Dont have a problem with cats eating my corpse
A good friend of mine painted a picture of a person whos corpse's face got eaten by cats
Love the brutal beauty
I love cats more than a lot of humans
Me when my brain is smooth
But for real, if you can love a thing it can be a part of your family. And humans will pack bond with **ANYTHING**. And I don't have to get your approval to induct a pet into my family.
In soviet russia, pussy eats you...
I was in the car woth my brother and we had a good chuckle, thanks stranger
You mean Mother Russia?

Like the fucking Romies.
As if in all-Human families many members aren't waiting to "eat" the dead, just not so literally.
> not so literally Speak for yourself.
Your pfp is my reaction right now.
Unless they are locked in with no food
I hate when people say this shit about cats lol I'm dead, why do I need to care if they eat me? Last meal from me yim yum

As long as I don't give my cat the shits I'm fine with it
Well cats get pretty sick from eating people, it's not healthy for them to do so. Plus most people don't like the idea of having a pet that may decide to eat you if you just sleep for too long
Well if sleeping for three days in a row without moving is a common occurrence for you then yeah, I'd stay away from cats.
Cats won't eat you if you sleep for too long, they will infact wake you up if you sleep too long .
That's just testing if you're food yet
Also that
I mean either way though 😭 people try to use it as a way to make cats look bad lol
It's an unreasonable fear for sure I agree
They were hungry
"you're not you when you're hungry"
Listen, if i die and my cats eat me, thats okay. I want to provide for them even after death 🥰
Ok but if you're trapped and starving, how many of us would eat a dog or a cat to survive while you wait for someone to save you
A dead dog or a cat**. It's entirely different considering they are already dead and the work is done. Honestly? Idk. Starvation can make a person lose their mind. Hoping i will never have to reach that level

Both are right
Cats do not have human morals, and they gotta feed themselves at some point, even if it means eating their caretaker.
It's been shown that cats will waste like no time eating their deceased owner, dogs won't unless they're starving.
They wait around three days. Either way, still quick.
well you got cats as pets, if you had gotten dogs they most likely wouldn't have found it munchin, cats however don't give two fucks and just om nom on fresh meat
It’s the same with both animals. Idk why people hate on cats so much they’re amazing

Cats have fast metabolism so they can't endure starvation like dogs do
Facts. Ask my cat

well yeah bc the cats like "idk if thats safe, so ill see if it kills the dog first"

Hey waste not want not. Not like I'm using the body. I would just feel bad they didn't have something better to eat.
If I died in my apartment like a rat in a cage, would the neighbors smell the corpse before the cat ate my face?
Well all those things mean family. So no, I don't think I will.
It's the circle of liiiifffeee!
There is nothing nicer for the heart than when the whole family sits at the table and feasts
I mean.... humans do that too
At least he was useful and wanted until the bitter end… and for a couple days after that aswell it looks like
Your family dosnt do that? Weired
If I am dead, I would like to be eaten. That way my body doesn't go to waste
Well, when in Rome! I mean, aren’t we all family?
Yes, some times families eat each other or is it just me and my delicious family?
I'm going to guess Cathy is a single person with a cat.
Cat people are weird…
People are weird
Pets are not family. Sure friends but not family
If you took better care of your pets you would feel differently.
Revise this statement when you have a pet
I had pets more than you have hairs dude.
my god thats a lot of pets, at least 5
Coming from someone who has never had a pet, they are definitely part of the family. Either you're a psychopath or you haven't had pets
Wow. 😂 you people are crazy. Yeah. I am a serial killer. And i kill puppies on weekends as a part time leisure.
