Antonio Banderas as Puss'n'Boots is GENIUS.
Oh, my, YES! Ginger and Puss totally make it for me.
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Huh. Isn't that why minors have legal guardians? It's a little weird that his guardian seems to be almost entirely absent from the case, although I guess if she didn't object that sort of implies her consent.

how old do you have to be to be able to refuse life-saving medical treatment? Is 14 old enough?
This is a question that's still debated a lot. A (law) colleague of mine writes on it with a friend (MD, oncologist) of hers. But it's not unusual for an under 18 year old, who is considered to understand the consequenses, to be able to refuse treatment.

It's Cold Miser, not Snow Miser, right?
It's Snow, which always confused me. Well, that and the whole "Miser" thing - wouldn't a Heat or a Snow MISER be keeping them to themselves?

And speaking of Snow Miser, it looks like he came to visit today. Although in this case it was probably the demented cousin in the attic, "Wintery Mix Miser".

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

Yeah. Perhaps "Heatmonger" and "Coldmonger" would make more sense.

Or Master (but maybe they thought it was too close to Meister a la Burghermeister Meisterburgher).

Really. They totally missed the chance to subtly indoctrinate the youth of American into sadomasochism.
