Interesting note from police investigative work over the years.
When a person dies at home, their dog will stand guard over the body until it dies of famine.
Cats will eventually eat the body for food.
Dogz Rule bump
Seriously, though, the cats live alone and can successfully hunt alone (except for lions), while dogs are social animals, because they must hunt together or starve.
That's all you need to know in the dogs vs. cats debate :)
When your darning kitty jumps up onto your bed every morning it is just checking to see if you are dead yet.
