    A cat could kill you, easily. They literally have razor sharp claws in all their legs, a well placed puncture or even an infected cut could endanger your life. Cats have, rarely, killed babies. They are literally mostly carnivore tiny tigers who kill for a living.

      Cats can also carry infection diseases on their claws, including toxoplasmosis.

        Cats prefer warm meat, so if you die and they are hungry they are multiple times more likely to start eating you immediately.

        Dogs at least will wait until its a survival issue.

          Well I suppose its a better use of a corpse then just burying it.
