LOL all the way through that one.

Of course we all know cats are not equipped to survive a nuclear holocaust. Or who knows, maybe they're better equipped than we are.

I have a fondness for post-apocalypse movies, even though sci-fi is not my genre. "28 Days Later" was set in England after the big one and was very well made IMO. For more fun, I liked "The Day After Tomorrow" starring Dennis Quaid. After a new ice age strikes the northern U.S. he heads south to escape. There is Dennis on snowshoes, trekking south, trying to find his son, played by a young Jake Gyllenhaal. The touch of humor, always appreciated in a Roland Emmerich production, was that so many Americans were doing the same thing that Mexico had erected a checkpoint to prevent Americans from swarming into Mexico illegally, LOL.
