This sounds kind of ridiculous, but I always rolled my eyes at my mother when, after some real or fictional trauma, she would tell me, "Don't ever die, OK??" and now I kind of get it. My cat had gotten several Stern Talks to that effect over the years. He has pretty much the same response I did.
All right, no one's killing folk today, on account of our very tight schedule.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I had that exact conversation with my cat last night. I told him he was allowed to die 5 minutes after I did and not a minute before. He responded by licking himself.

Oh Tommy, I am so very sorry. I'm crying for your loss. May Senor Sock have the bestest afterlife a cat can have.

Tommy, I am so sorry for you and your loss! I know that he had a loving home and a long life with you as his family, and that is one of the best things anyone (human or pet) can have.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I have the urge to go rescue a shelter kitty and name her Senorita Sockette in Senor Sock's honor.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Hee!
Of course, Senor Sock's namesake was in love with Suzanne Summers. But Suzanne Summers might not be such a good cat name....

Yeah I'm not sure my sister-in-law Suzanne would be happy if we had a cat named Suzanne either.

Oh no, Tom. So very sorry about Senor Sock. Was the name attributable to him being a "sock" cat (in the way there are "cow" and "tuxedo" cats)?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
