Do they ever? I know dogs might, but cats? Are they even attracted to corpses in the wild?
Depends how hungry and bored they are and if any of the other 5,000 species a domestic cat might eat (or just kill) in a year is available. It's hard to know what a cat is thinking.

No, it's easy. "Serve me, human!" is your cat's default setting.

That's certainly not true, whatever your personal preferences are. Like any other genre, romance novels are read by both lonely and socially active people.

I know happily married people with lots of friends who read mostly romances. OTOH, I'm basically the very definition of "a lonely person with no life" , being an almost total recluse, and romance has never been my favorite genre at all.
My fantasy would be to have a house dead center in the middle of 100 acres of woods, with no road. Anyone who wanted to visit me would have to be very determined.

The Hundred Acre Wood?

In the center of 100 acres (square or round plot?) works out to ~1000 feet from anybody.
Quite often I fit this constraint, which is why I can play guitar at 4 AM.

Those alien romance books are terrible. They are made for people who have no life and no taste in books.

I wonder if an AI could do better.

I hate romance novels I know. I'm gonna get a lot of hate for saying this. But romance novels are for lonely people with no life.
I don't think you'll get much hate, probably a lot of eye rolls and people taking you less seriously in the future.

What is your take on people who read sci-fi, fantasy, literary fiction, detective novels, cozy mysteries, urban fantasy, ... ?

There are many genres that I don't read but I don't think I'd care to characterize the people who do.

Most recently read: "The Story of Rope", Plymouth Cordage Company.
What does that make me?

Curious to know about stuff!

Actually I seriously considered downloading that.
https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/71807

Should I get it?

Edit:
Meh, I've been upgraded to Fibre Broadband end of summer. Downloaded it.

The book was interesting, but more about materials than rope-making machines and ropewalks.

I do have a fetish, but about braiding machines.

Materials is actually more interesting.

There was a disused rope factory near where I lived once that an ancestor of my wife built.

A fanfic turned a canonically gay character into a heterosexual with zero explanation. Yuck.
