Cats do, in fact, snack on deceased owners. Whether they enjoy it, I can't say.

When I had a cat, I'd fairly frequently wake up with her staring at me, sitting on my chest in the "breath stealing" position. I always imagine her inner dialog being something like, "Morning! Are you dead yet? Can I eat your eyes? OK, not dead yet. Scratch my nose?"

Long ago I had a large orange cat. He would sit on my chest to wake me up. If I didn't wake up he would hook the end of one of his claws into that sensitive piece of flesh the lies between the nostrils, and pull hard. I'm pretty sure he would have eaten me too if I didn't respond to that stimulus.

Dogs also snack on deceased owners. In as little as 45 minutes as well.
