A Romanian woman died in her home recently, her body later devoured by the 20 or so cats that lived with her. Apparently she had been dead for several weeks before her corpse and the feline feeding frenzy were discovered. Which shows what happens when kooky people don’t keep many friends who are willing to check up on them. Think Eleanor Rigby — with a shitload of cats.

Some people may react to this story with horror. But when you have that many cats, and you die at home, of course you’re going to be eaten. Cats are carnivores, and they’re not about to let all that good flesh go to waste.  Look on the bright side: it’s better than feeding the worms. Besides, the deceased would probably be happy knowing she was able to provide for her kitties after death.

We applied this potential scenario to ourselves here at AITS, wondering of Bug would be capable of acting on the same primal instincts. It was generally agreed by all of us that in such a situation, like if Maynard stopped feeding him, Bug would only gnaw on Norm. And only while Norm is still alive.
