So let's just get this straight: 2012 has passed, but we really shouldn't let our guard down about the impending apocalypse.
And now that we have that established, only one question remains: WHO WILL BE ON YOUR TEAM?
Answer: PERSIAN MOTHA-EFFIN' CATS.
1. OK so the first reason to have Persians on your team is obvious: They're fierce.
If this isn't fierce, then I don't know what is.
2. Secondly, they're really good at fitting into tight spots. Here we see a Persian in an ashtray.
3. Also, they're really good at finding water sources.
4. And you can't deny that anything with a skull as terrifying as this deserves to be on your team.
5. Persians are great at building makeshift forms of shelter in the wild.
6. They also have the amazing ability to transform into angry and disgruntled warriors at the drop of an electric shaver. Here we see the Persian before...
...AND HERE IT IS AFTER.
7. Oh, and here you see a standard, fluffy kitty...
Add a little water and what do you get? A BLOOD-THIRSTY DEMON.
8. Or, uh, if you're looking for a fierce reindeer to help you out in the post-apocalyptic world, they can handle that too.
9. Or, y'know, if you need a unicorn with a menacing stare. They've got that covered as well.
10. So, are you convinced yet? Stare into these eyes real quick.
11. Well, there's more. Check out this amazing battle cry.

Katniss would have had ALL of the odds in her favor if she'd had a battle cry like this.
12. And you should know that Persian cats don't sleep. They wait whilst grimacing.
13. And they're also really handy to have around so they can be ambassadors to other members of the animal kingdom.
14. And, when they're not making peaceful alliances, they really good at hunting.
Aha! Yes, observe the Persian cat in hunting stance.
15. And if we're aiming high here, obviously the best team member you could possibly have is PRINCESS MONSTER TRUCK.
Her face is the definition of the ideal partner in crime.
16. Close second? Gruffalo. One fang, all heart.
Here's a pic of Gruffalo when he was first adopted.
17. Bottom line: Gruffalo will either be with you, or he will be against you.
18. So you're still not convinced you want Persian cats on your apocalypse team? That's OK.
19. Just know that when the end is near, these glowing-eyed creatures will know where you stand.
20. And when it's just you and this face fighting for the last scraps of food, you won't be able to say that you hadn't been warned.
21. FAREWELL, MORTAL ONE. GOODBYE AND GOOD LUCK.
22. FYI, Colonel Meow is definitely betting against your survival.
