I'm sure Dallas would rather they kept you fresh.
I thought it was cats that ate you and dogs just sat and waited for something to happen.
See, Vera? Dress yourself up; you get taken out somewhere fun.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I would guess that cats would not be interested once you stopped twitching and dogs would get more interested the stronger the carrion smell got. I haven't run an experiment or anything. But it does fit observations I have made of individuals of certain species reactions to mice.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
At the 1992 American Academy of Forensic Sciences conference in New Orleans, a forensic pathologist stated that individuals living alone sometimes died unexpectedly and unnoticed. He claimed that, in his experience, a pet dog would go for several days before it resorted to eating the owner's body. A pet cat would wait only a day or two. What he didn't mention was that cats are obligate carnivores and, unlike dogs (which are more omnivorous), cats cannot consume other potential foodstuffs that might be lying around the home (fruit, veg, cookies). For a dog, the corpse might be a last resort, but for an obligate carnivore, it may be the first resort.
First hit.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I'm just glad the cat moved out.

laughing hysterically.
Ironically, the one with the prey drive is so picky about food, my corpse might be safe. Now, the one with no prey drive who thinks people exist to pet him...
