Would your cat eat you if you shrank?

Random Friday night thought. If you shrank to the size of a large mouse but had the same voice and smell, do you think your cat would eat you / kill you? My cat was just being super lovely and rubbing her face on mine which I have heard is sharing scent so we smell the same and are family. So how about if I was tiny? Would she leave me in peace or do you think it would be curtains?

Boycat would carry me about and leave me in odd places covered in dribble.

Girlcat would rip me limb from limb. Slowly.

I’ve got an adorable doofus boy, who I’m fairly certain would still love me. Our girl however, I wouldn’t be so sure of my safety! She’s got a hunting instinct and lightening fast reactions.

I think if a cat is trapped inside a house and their owner dies and no one finds them they get so hungry they eat their owner after they are dead. I know it doesn't sound nice but I suppose it's their survival instinct kicking in.

Malecat would think :" if I have to eat the old bat or starve.......God what a choice....it means a decent meal ..... but I'd have to go NEAR her.......I could live off my fat for a week I s'ppose"

In case you haven't guessed , MaleCat doesn't like me even though I trawled the Internet and chose these little ratbag and sorted out a bloke to do the catdoor in the glass French door for them.And apart from being the one who takes him to the vet I have never done anything unkind to this animal !
Little git!
