Meat Eating Cat
When I moved to Ireland and set up house, I felt that I really needed a cat to make my new home complete.

So, being the responsible sort, I got a cat from a rescue place. Bean is a mature cat, with an iron will, and like other cats, she took a while to settle in.

After a couple of months, well pas the hide behind the TV stage, she was sleeping in the bed, sitting on the table, the normal stuff that cats do.

One Saturday morning, I was sleeping with my fingers laced on my chest I wake up with Bean walking over me and starts licking one of my fingers. Cute, I think. Then she starts gently nibbling my finger tip, still cute but a bit odd.

Then she lines up her mouth to take a chunk out of my finger, I pull away quickly enough to avoid blood loss.

She does this a few times to both me and my partner.

It's not until a couple of weeks later that I put the pieces of the puzzle together. The lady that she lived with last was rather old and died rather suddenly, and I'm guessing that she was left in the house with her for a couple of days. So it looks as if she was just checking to see if we were asleep or dead.

yes very much so.
Your cat was left in a house with a dead body for months, and I guess he started on the fingers :D
Natures a bitch, its a survival game out there, even if it means eating an old granny.
