Depends on humidity. Usually fingers, toes, ears and nose may mummify on a body, while the rest of the body putrefy. If left in a well ventilated cool place, the body will also mummify quicker.

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.
