“To the titular question: I hate this question. I feel like itâs some weird proof that cats donât actually love people or something, and I think itâs sort of silly.
Letâs just settle this.
If I die while owning a cat, and if said cat eats my eyes, Iâm fine with that. I was obviously done using them. And as a member of the family, I want my cat to live a full life. So if whatâs required to survive the period between my death and my cat being rescued is for my cat to eat my eyes, no hard feelings. If I found a human had eaten a cat, one who was dead anyway, in a do or die scenario, I wouldnât hold it against them. And thatâs what weâre talking about here. Your average indoor cat is trapped in the house, doesnât even know how to turn on a faucet, and has no idea how long this will go on.
If your primary argument against cats or cat ownership is that theyâve on occasion munched on lifeless, already-wasted human flesh, youâre gonna have to do a lot better than that. Because I mean, Iâm the one who domesticated the cat, then up and died, then had the sad life where no one came looking for me. I got Mr. Whiskers into this mess. Itâs only fair that my eyeballs should get him out. “
