Conjuring up images of Escape From Alcatraz or The Shawshank Redemption, adorable orange cats Pumpkin and Squash recently pulled off a prison break for the ages.

Refusing to spend another hour behind bars, the furry, mischievous duo systematically broke down the seemingly impenetrable fortress that bound them.

Their mom Autumn, who makes a cameo briefly, may have provided some last-minute encouragement. All we need is Morgan Freeman to narrate:

The end of the world is going down today, the Mayans tell us. You've surely heard.

What you probably haven't considered is that predictions of the December 21, 2012 apocalypse were all just a clever ruse ... to divert attention from the real threat.

The ALPACAlypse!

Alpacalypse 2012

A meme devoted to the llama-like furballs is wreaking cute destruction on 12/21/12.

So sometime today, expect a torrent of alpacas to rain down upon us, bringing fire, brimstone, the end of human civilization and a whole lot of furry silliness.

Seriously, have you seen one of them? See more Alpacalypse images below:

The residents of Newtown, Connecticut were greeted this week by a group of furry friends.

About 10 golden retrievers from the Chicago area Saturday, as Lutheran Church Charities in that city thought the canines could provide some level of comfort for those affected by last week's horrendous shooting.

Comfort Dogs

"Dogs are nonjudgmental. They are loving. They are accepting of anyone," said Tim Hetzner, the organization’s president. "It creates the atmosphere for people to share."

The dogs attended the interfaith gathering on Sunday night and listened to the President Obama Newtown speech, as community members spent time with the animals in silence.

Yesterday, they stopped by local schools and befriended children still trying to process all that went down last Thursday.

Could this be the cutest video ever? It's gotta be up there.

In one of those ordinary, yet amazingly special moments in life, Watson the dog stands by while his toddler companion does a quick assessment of a puddle situation.

Sometimes, a boy just has to stop and play in a puddle.

If a boy's lucky, his best friend will wait patiently.

Miley Cyrus' dog Lila has died. She was two. The singer is not taking it well.

She took to Twitter today to break the tragic news about Lila to her fans, writing, "My heart has never been so broken. Lila my sweet baby girl has passed away."

"Can't think of one good reason to get out of bed today."

Miley Cyrus' Dog Lila

It's unclear how Lila died, but Miles can at least mourn alongside Lila's former fellow pooches Ziggy, Penny Lane, and Mary Jane (obviously she has one named that).

RIP.

You have to see this video posted by a New Zealand animal charity that teaches dogs to drive cars - for real - and more successfully than certain humans, no less.

The driving dogs program was created by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in Auckland, with the goal of establishing that dogs are smart creatures.

Mission accomplished, as evidenced by Porter here:

The SPCA wants people to adopt its awesome driving dogs, who can also be trained to do many other things with proper guidance, and other pets in need of homes.

Can you say full-time designated driver?!

Okay, so, some days you're sitting around and a co-worker sends you this video of an iguana farting in a bathtub, and purely for curiosity's sake, you watch it.

Then you watch it again, and perhaps a third time, because you can't help yourself.

Then you say aloud to yourself, everyone should share the experience of watching this adorable reptile's flatulence, because it's just good family entertainment.

Then you post it online. And that's pretty much where we are right now.

A new viral video addresses the cat person vs. dog person divide like never before.

What do you think: Would you prefer living with Dog Friend or Cat Friend?
