I can't link to this directly (stupid Javascripted link), but go to msnbc and click on the link that says "Animal Tracks: Firefighter's purr-fect rescue" - it's a slideshow of lots of cute animal photos, including a firefighter holding a cat he rescued, and another cat receiving oxygen (with a kitty-head-sized oxygen mask) to treat it for smoke inhalation.
Oh, and the picture of the guy who had his cat's picture tatooed on his arm after the cat saved him from dying of a drug overdose....

It's called tiptronic in Acuras too.
