too self-centered to regard a fallen owner as anything more than food: note how -- entirely unlike dogs -- cats never intervene to rescue people from fires or drowning or to protect them from attackers: canine behavior that as a newspaperman I have written about several times over the years. Moreover it has recently been proven dogs can count and recognize symbols -- and therefore probably have the capability of learning to read. But I suppose cats are like other living beings: there is always a first time for any given behavior -- and as another poster said, it's a beautiful story.
Edit: typo in head (and headline).
