A Cat Question
Hank Gillette
the cat notice something was wrong?
1. When I stop breathing.
2. When I stop reacting when he digs his claws in my leg.
3. When my body grows cold and no longer provides any warmth.
4. When I don't get up and feed him when he complains about being hungry.

4. And then he starts snacking on the new food source.

They don't care unless they are trying to steal your soul.
>2. When I stop reacting when he digs his claws in my leg.
I think they are continually surprised when that happens, so no.
>3. When my body grows cold and no longer provides any warmth.
That would make them miffed, but they'd just move over to the next
heat source.
>4. When I don't get up and feed him when he complains about being hungry.
That's always a deathly sin, I don't know if being dead would
exacerbate the alarm.

Why would the cat think something was 'wrong'?
Unless your death coincided with Armageddon there would be a new 'owner'
nearby.

After a while he'll find something to eat. Do you keep the toilet(s)
inaccessable to cats?

I always wondered if I shrank really small, if my cat would notice and
attack me. This visual was inspired by a not too good acid trip (I am
hesitant to use the word bad because now that I think about it, it
really wasn't that bad either).

register that recognition lest your spirit know. Cats will be cats,
under any and all circumstances.

I think the cat would probably figure out something was wrong as soon as he
heard 007 dispatching your henchmen.

I think it depends on the cat. Mr Beans depends on me for moral
support around his brother and sister (she's the queen), so I think
he'd be anxious about any change in my demeanor.

I don't remember my childhood cats inflicting pain when they kneaded
the "bread" so they may have been of the "sheathe the claws" school.
And Donald mostly subscribes to that idea. The others think my blood
just adds piquancy.

Part of my role as acolyte to the queen is to make sure the bed is
properly warmed up for her. The boys tend to sleep on the floor and
don't much care about me as a heat source.

Mr Beans would attempt a wakeup call; the others would let me "sleep
in". I can't picture how it would progress from there (until it
reached the "finger food" stage).

But until that time, they'd probably be happy that I wasn't bouncing
up every 5 minutes to get something.

I think this is the correct answer.
