Cats v Dogs
News.com.au reports:
A WOMAN who died in her isolated home in Hampshire, UK, was gnawed by her cats after her death.
Southampton Coroner’s Court heard that Janet Veal, 56, was found on her kitchen floor on April 4 after neighbours noticed her letterbox had not been cleared and raised the alarm, the Daily Mail reports.
Police who entered the home through an unfastened window found a “distressing scene” inside with the dead bodies of a number of animals also found alongside their owner.
They are believed to have starved to death after they were left without food. It is also believed some of the animals had begun to feed on their owner.
This is more common that people might think. I understand that if you die and have a dog, the dog will howl and wail and miss you terribly. But if you die with a cat, then they may start feeding on you within a few hours!
I like that old saying that dogs have masters, and cats have staff! So true!
