Yes for me. Wife, a dog and 2 cats.

Yeah. Husband, sister, four friends, 1 dog, 2 cats, 4 fish.

Wait are we talking all at once or each individually?
I mean, are you telling us that you would forfit your life to save 1 of your 4 fish?

Wife and kids: No
A Klondike bar: Hell yes.

Interesting responses. I didn't realize so many ATOTers live alone.

The question was meant to be an all or nothing scenario. Obviously most people wouldn't give their life for an animal. I was thinking more about a situation where you would lose all living beings from your household or your own life.

i live alone and i couldnt care less about the ants who occasionally visit my kitchen, so my answer is no

 

[Sho'Nuff]

Wife, yes.

My cat, yes.

My wife's cat can die in a fire for all I care.

i love my cat but i don't think i could have to die so the cat should live.

i'd sacrifice myself for my children (when i have them), if it came down to it.

My cat is like a dog, so I'm making an exception. Otherwise I agree with you.

one of my 4 cats is in the middle of the road. A car is heading straight for the cat ready to make it a road pancake. My mind calculates a less than 50% chance that I may be able to run, grab the cat and jump out of the way of the car.

Sorry, the cat is a goner.

If my wife's cat were in that scenario, I would only intervene if it would mean that the chances of the kitty getting smooshed were markedly increased. Call me evil, but I cannot stand my wife's cat.
