I’ve read the stories about people dying alone with a cat
and the cat beginning to feast on the corpse
as disturbing as those stories are, a cat or cats will
feast on your body after you die rather than starve
I find the thought of that gruesome, and if I had a cat
that would happen to me
I live alone and have no contact with others, so were I to
die, it could take days or weeks before anyone found me
and the beloved pet cat would begin to feast on me –
all it could do to survive
were I aware of things happening on earth after I died
I’d have no hard feelings against the cat
but the thought of a cat eating me after I died is a bit
too macabre for me
which is one of the reasons I don’t have a pet cat
and have tropical fish instead
far as I know, 🙂 they won’t eat me when I die.
