I've heard of cats eating their incapacitated owners when they became hungry.

Don't get me wrong I like dogs, (prefer them to cats actually due to allergies) but dogs do some pretty terrible stuff as well. There was an old lady in my hometown that went out to feed her Rotweiler... Her family came to check on her only to find one of her arms chewed off and her face missing. Not to mention a kid in a town a few miles away that had to have 50 or 60 skin graft operations on his arm after a run in with the neighbors pit bull....

It's all about how you raise your pets... even cats.
