Reply to comment by syds in ELI5: Why do dead bodies found in homes mummify instead of decay? by i_was_way_off

If you die with a live cat, in an apartment or house where the cat can’t escape, it’s quite often seen that the cat (or dog for that matter) will eat parts of the body. Often it’s the face.

… or the cat will become a mummy, praised by the ancient Egyptians.
