Pets... There's a great little breakdown of levels of pets by someone I can't remember. It's something like:

In an emergency/disaster where you are incapacitated, generally:

A dog will stick by you and try to save you, even to it's own detriment.

A cat will hang around for a bit and then go look after itself once it figures you're not going to feed it.

A pet rat? If you're the only food around, it'll just eat you...
