When you die, your cat will likely eat you, but not right away. this is because he/she still expects you to fill up his bowl. after a bit, when you do not fill up their bowl, they will likely nom on soft, exposed areas of your body (think neck, lips, nose). If you want more somewhat morbid facts like this, read "will my cat eat my eyeballs?" by caitlin something-or-other. it's a great read.

I was looking up if a person can be too oversized for cremation. I found out that individuals who are overweight can cause grease fires when being cremated. Apparently to a highly trained ?? Crematorist ?? (I'm unsure of the job title) This is not a problem as they know how to manage it however if not managed properly the fire can get out of hand.
Sorry I don't know how they manage the fire.
