I'm in a bit of a silly mood, so please forgive me if this post is somewhat wacky on my part...
Upon finishing Mira Gant's Feed, which is all about the day in the life of the humans trying to survive a zombie apocalypse that has been unleashed upon the world, I've had a few deep thoughts.
Let's say the zombie virus was unleashed and small animals were infected. Two such animals come to mind that could really wipe out the human population and take over the world.
First the zombie cat:
In my opinion, I do believe the squirrel is a more dangerous than the cat. Squirrels have beady little eyes and like to cause brain damage with their acorns.
But then again the cat an be very sneaky and will wait for the right moment to attack, especially when they hide under couches and beds and fly in the air to take you down.
I've talked to Mira in great detail about how both the cat and the squirrel can be very dangerous if and when a zombie virus may occur. She's given me a very researched and thought out explaination on why cats or squirrels can't become zombies. I tend to disagree because those two animals will still probably be here long after humans leave the Earth.
But then again, after reading Gini Koch's Alien Tango, we may all have to keep an eye on the alligator:
So, if you found that you're one of the few remaining survivors of a zombie apocalypse, which animal would you stay away from? The cat or the squirrel?
And in closing, would the zombie cat eat the zombie squirrel's brains and visa-versa?

Definitely stay away from squirrels. I've read Lilith St. Crow's escapades with NeoSquirrel and that thing is evil and unkillable, just like a zombie. At least a cat you could distract with a nice tin of tuna.
But if a cat is a zombie, it won't want tuna. And both suckers can run fast, although it they are zombies, we may have hope since they will shuffle, not scamper.
Tough choice, the squirrel is smaller so you would no see that one coming. But then the cat is bigger and could do more damage. I always say creepy zombie birds would be most horrible
I vote squirrel if those are my only choices but after seeing 28 days later I am scared CRAPLESS of zombie birds.
Although a cat would freak me out just as bad... tough choice
Since squirrels are rodents and therefor related to rats, I vote squirrels to be more dangerous. They have greater survival instincts and would constantly collect brains and stash them even if they weren't hungry. Cats would eat some brains and then go nap.
I'd definitely stay away from cats...they are cunning and completely devious! You can tell a cat owns me, can't you :)
I'd toss 'em both to the alligator. But that's me. ;-D
The alligator is to big and slow. The cat and squirrel will finish it off before it can open it's mouth.
