Your cat could eat you if you die as study shows felines feast on human corpsesThey are one of the most popular pets in the UK, but if you have a cat, you might want to watch your back. A new study has revealed that cats are happy to feast on dead bodies, meaning that if you die, your pet cat could eat you. Corpes Researchers at Colorado Mesa University looked into the morbid behaviour after discovering two cats that had broken into their research centre and were feasting on decomposing corpses. The cats didn’t just visit once - they returned to the lab on several occasions to chow down on the bodies, focusing on arm tissues. The first cat, a striped tabby, focused its attention on the body of a 79-year-old woman, mostly nibbling on the soft tissue on her left arm and chest.
