So Long, And Thanks For All The Goldfish

Crooked Timber explores the age-old dilemma: What about our pets when the Rapture happens?
Apparently there are whole web sites devoted to this question.
My favorite answer:

But aren’t most cats usually quite self-sufficient? I imagine there will be much less traffic and other man-made hazards in the areas previously populated by evangelicals, so, one could argue that the cats and dogs left behind will find themselves in their own little paradise. The goldfish will perish, though.
