Nationals radio announcer scared of cats eating his corpse

I’m scared of spiders, so I shouldn’t judge.

Last week, we talked about dying alone, so alone, in a hotel in a strange city. Just yesterday, we reviewed cats, the animal. It was all heading toward this: cats will eat you when you die, and Nationals radio announcer Phil Wood is not okay with this.

From CBS Washington, who has audio here:

“Well, I became more of a dog person when I read that, if you have a cat, and you die, your cat will eventually eat you,” Wood said. “So, it’s just their nature, apparently.”

“I had never heard that,” Slowes said, stunned, kinda.

“Well, thanks for that,” Jageler said.

“Welp, so, again, if that helps you make up your mind at all, on whether or not you’re a dog or a cat person,” Wood concluded his thought.

Mm-hmm. That’s just part of their style. Because what are they supposed to do, starve? No way. Owner-nose emergency rations are the best kind of emergency rations.
