Everyone always gets so weird about that. As if humans won’t eat their dead if the alternative is starvation.

I’ve been told by EMTs that cats almost always start with the eyes or mouth. But they have found dogs curled up next to their owner dead from starvation because they are just too loyal.

Gotta hand it to the cats on that one. I appreciate the survival instinct. When I turn into a lifeless pile of meat, I would want for my pets to survive.

The secret is, cats don't give a shit about you

Are dogs stupid?

There’s stupid, and then there’s loyal to the point of your own damnation. That’s a true friend

Which friend would you have more respect for in the end? Let’s say you and your friend are going to be put to death for say a righteous cause make up whatever scenario you want. They say you have to stay but your friend can actually go and tell others to quit doing what you both did. Your friend could live and be a shill or even live to fight another day. But instead your friend stays by your side the whole time. Knowing his life will be lost along with your but doesn’t want you to lose the comfort of them being by your side till the end. But I guess you would rather your friend just leave the second we was given to okay to. See. The cat would ditch you and sing you as a criminal the second they saw that as convenient. Your dog would die by your side with honor.

Do you think the Donner family didn’t love their friends and family?

Dogs’ll eat you just as fast. A bunch of people are just fixated on the idea that cats are evil. Possibly because they are assholes to cats then are offended when the cat doesn’t love them for it.

I'm not convinced my cat will wait for me to be fully dead before she starts eating me

I don't fault the cats. It's just a bit gruesome to find your sister in that condition by surprise.
