Are you being facetious? It might be the toxoplasmosis talking but I'm not comfortable with what you're saying. Hisses and scratches to you.

You can eat me 4 hours after I pass, but not a single second sooner.

Even humans had to resort to cannibalism at some unfortunate point in time. Cats do what they need to survive too. From my experience with cats, they're great "low-maintenance pets". As in, you don't have to walk them everyday or take them out when nature calls and they're not as needy as dogs. But they're not really that independent or aloof either. The cats I've had would greet me when I'd get back from work and meow insistently for cuddles and food. There's something relaxing about a cat purring contently.

A tarantula is a great "low-maintenance pet". With a cat, you probably have to feed and otherwise interact with it on a weekly basis. That's not low-maintenance at all!

They're kind of furry I guess but they don't purr if you pet them. Nothing like stroking one of their eight legs and have its eight eyes looking back at you.
