I've been discussing with my sister (a big fan of her cats) about what lives we would save in an emergency. I think a human live is worth more than an animal's no question asked but she thinks otherwhise. So to end this discussion I'm writing here.

Who would you save between your cat and your worst enemy?
What if it was between your cat and a stranger?
Why?

Who is more likely to be able to save themselves? Like, if it's a fire I'm getting the people out, the cats will get themselves out. If someone is getting pushed off a 3 story building? The cat, more likely to survive.

Water rising? I am grabbing the cat, the person can figure out something for themselves.
