Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
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.

We seem to be having an apocalypse over here. This is some of the loudest thunder I've ever heard. (My office has a fantastic view of the Chrysler Building, and it's eerie right now -- the top is almost completely obscured by giant black rainclouds. IT IS AWESOME.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
We can't all apocalypse together? It'd be more efficient.
