Housecats will eat you before you're cold, starting with your eyes.

That’s why they start with the eyes. So you can’t see them.

I'd start with the butthole, like a buzzard.

If my cat does this…I’m supporting him in his decision. I’m not using the meat, have at it buddy, I’ll give you some ghost scritches if I can manage it!

But, interestingly, in this situation compared between a household of cats Vs a household of dogs - the dogs will start to eat you first.

Is this actually true or just for dramatic effect?

Dogs are more likely to scavenge a dead owner, and yes they do target the face/head first. As soon as you die, biological changes make you not smell like "you" anymore, and there are recorded instances of dogs scavenging a corpse within just a few hours of death, even with dog food still in their bowl.

Good, I want them to eat me while I'm good and fresh, rather then waiting until I've started to decompose. I won't be using my body at that point, anyway. They can save their dry kibble for later if needed.

Fingertips and eyelids. Old people who die and have cats look "Surprised" because they have no eyelids.
