The questions that need asking

Just suppose you had a stroke and collapsed alone on your living room floor. And just suppose as you lay paralysed from the neck down that you were able to sustain yourself by tonguing moisture from your wooden floorboards thanks to a leaking ceiling. And also suppose your cat, lets call him Haskell Moxley for argument's sake, is also trapped inside with you and is relying on that same dripping ceiling.

How many days would need to pass before Haskell began, tentatively, experimentally at first, to nibble at your bare calves?

Some cats I swear it would only be a matter of hours.

I would give my hungry cat beast about 3 hours. He already has a nip at my toes every night. He is just warming up for when he has to eat me to stay alive. Poor kitty.

"They" say that cats will eat you pretty quickly. Dogs, on the other hand will not. Unless, of course, you have 13 of them and they are all rescued-from-the-pound-mongrels. In which case, forfuckingetit. You're Pal.

Further suppose that this is following the nuclear holocaust, and it's not a cat, but members of your family...

I'd put more money on my daughter's rabbits having a nibble before the killer cat. But then they're vicious bunnies...
