The Island of Dr Moreau, by H G Wells ...
I read a short story where an old man kept cats on an island; when he died, they ate him, and anyone else who arrived, as there was no-one to feed them. For a really creepy take on the theme, read Web, John Wyndham's last novel: the island is taken over by social spiders -- think great big eight-legged ants!
