They say that if a person has a pet cat and dies |
|
if the person's body is not found fairly soon after death, the cat, having not been fed, will become ravenously hungry and eat the dead person's face off — JUST the face!
Is this true? My cat often looks me in the face. I used to think he was just being friendly. Now I know he's just sizing me up, like a chef at a butcher shop, waiting for "the big day". Since hearing this rumor, every time my cat licks his chops it gives me the willies!

Just a guess. Lots of cat-haters out there make up a lot of pretty sick shit.

She doesn't have to wait until your dead, so you'd better apologize!

10. I've heard something similar. |
|
If a cat's owner dies and he has no access to food, the cat will start eating on the owner's body. If the same happens with a dog, the dog will starve to death.
I think it's the cat hating people who start these rumors. Even if it's true...Who is smarter? The cat or the dog?

20. I've been told that if you snort powdered glass as you would cocaine, |
|
you will die. Is this just a rumor, or would it actually happen?

11. Haven't heard that, but |
|
I have heard that if a person dies and the animals have no food, a dog will wait until he is almost dead before he stoops to that level, and he'll fell bad about it.
A cat will do it pretty much when it gets hungry.
As a cat owner, I can believe it.

22. They also say to keep cats out of the baby room as it will suck |
|
the breath out of the baby. My cats just prefer to sleep on my face and smother me.

what really happens is the cat lays on the baby's chest and the baby can't take in enough air and smothers. Some cats are fascinated with a sleeping baby.

27. I think they just like anything warm in winter. They will always |
|
snuggle up to me in winter but they don't know my name in the summer. So when they realize a baby or anyone else is warm, they'll be there when it's cold.

24. It's true. Cats are the devil's footmen. |

Beware, the evils of the horned beast as it comes in many shapes. And don't let your cat out in the moonlight, it will come back bewitched and eat you alive!

You must've seen the Sex and the City episode where Miranda moves into a new apartment. The previous owner had died there, and the neighbor decided to tell her that exact rumor upon seeing her cat. I've never heard of it until I watched that episode.
