Pretty self explanatory. Post animals, post pets, post stuff about animals and pets!

To be fair, so do other four-legged mammals.

I keep telling my partner that if the kitties were big enough, they'd eat us. She never seems to believe me. Maybe this will help sell the point.

Nah, if you raise them from kitties, they'll be tamed to you. Might eat the neighbors, though.

Cats will eat you if you die in your home though. The only thing stopping them is the thought that you might fight back.

If I'm dead, I honestly wouldn't mind being eaten by my cat. Sounds better than eaten by worms and bacteria.

They will most likely start with your face since the flesh there is so soft. Whoever finds you will be in for quite a nice visual.

But maybe the cat will live, so.

But at least the kitties won't starve

[–] midnight@kbin.social 1 points 8 months ago

Humans might do that too, if they are stuck without food. I don't think that means much.

Also tamed big cats don't attack humans they know, despite easily being able to kill them. And they aren't even domesticated.

They all look so happy....
