First of all, it is true that cats will eat the bodies of dead owners, but this is not a "patent" for cats. Here are a few cases. Cats occasionally eat their dead companions and even their own cubs. As a carnivore, the discussion of recipes should be: the answers can be divided into four types: biology; Raw meat; Cooked meat; Rotting meat
Obviously, cats are not too jealous of these four kinds. Except for the special way of death, the dead owner is generally either dead raw meat or dead carrion, which is within the range of feline recipes.
Think again, do cats eat the same kind (because it is more logical for cats to treat their owners as the same kind than as their owners). Although I haven't seen relevant reports, it seems that cats shouldn't eat the same kind of living or dead bodies unless absolutely necessary, because dead wild cats are generally as intact as dead bodies.
Extended data:
In fact, cats in the wild generally don't take the initiative to attack large omnivorous/carnivorous mammals that are quite different from their own size when hunting, but I tend to think that the reason is that they can't beat them rather than don't want to eat them. In terms of strength, cats have an advantage over large carnivores. Even Wu Songren (lions and tigers) generally keep their distance from animals with big teeth.
Cats are more open-minded when hunting, but forget it, there is no need to risk their lives for food. Cats are not very interested in storing food.
Although some cats will bury the small animals they catch when food is scarce. However, if conditions permit, they prefer to catch and eat now. Cats are not picky eaters when they are very hungry. But as long as there is a trace of endurance, cats will not touch things they don't want to eat or are not used to eating.
In addition, compared with Awuxing people, domestic meows have a bad habit. Are gang-level violent elements. When they see a moving creature smaller than themselves, they can't help biting it, but they will leave a sigh for others and then walk away happily, wagging their tails. I have observed that many well-fed domestic meows regard biting small animals as a game and finally say thank you for your participation.
