Adding to the fun of pet ownership...
A Phoenix
forensic pathologist gave a presentation and noted the following tidbits about her
line of work: Cats get up into your face at night to check and see if you're still
breathing. She had seen numerous occasions where
little old ladies had been found days later
sans face, and nearby a contented fuzzball who looked no worse for not having been fed
meow mix for a while.
Smaller breeds of dogs were also more likely to
chew on their deceased owners. She made a point about
cocker spaniels in particular. The larger breeds of dogs which were said to have been
particularly well behaved would suffer while waiting for food without nibbling on
eternally sleeping master.
