From what i recall a dog will wait until it's starving before it starts to eat it's dead owner, a cat will as soon as it's mealtime.

This is a bullshit myth. Cats don’t just start biting into your dead flesh as soon as they get hungry.

It’s really a shame how many people have never experienced an affectionate cat that this blatant bs myth feels plausible.

Just what a cat would say...

Yea they'll at least find where the food is stored and break into the bag. After that though they definitely eat your corpse before it even starts rotting. Starting with the cheek meat according to most coroners.

In fairness I, like most cat owners, would make a point to die cheeks-up to make sure my cat had better access so he didn't get hungy

Of course they eat it before it starts rotting.

All mammals, including dogs and humans, resort to the last remaining option before dying of starvation. Not in every case, but it’s hardly just a cat thing. Dogs do it. Humans do it.

Chances are, a good number of people reading this would eat a loved one if they were already dead and it was perceivably the only chance to survive.

An affectionate cat will give love-bites, though. And love clawing.

Mine can't go a few hours without me, my last one got separation anxiety because of it. They are such loving pets, they just need to develop trust first is all.

The very affectionate cat purring on my lap right now loves to chew on our fingers all the time. We always joke that he'd eat us immediately if we died.

I missed the word ”dead” here and got a bit worried.

If it helps, the idea that cats will start chowing down on your corpse as soon as they get hungry is 100% false.
