It also isn't a smart decision to risk your life to save a person, is it? Risking your own life isn't smart to begin with, that's not the point. The point is that Ripley wants to save the cat, because she cares about the lives of others, and also because she doesn't want to be completely alone after such a traumatic experience. The life of a cat is no different than the life of another human being. |
It's a movie. I'm pretty sure if there was huge acid aliens that just killed the whole crew, no matter how much you love a pet you aren't going to try and save it. In Aliens I'm not trying to save Newt at the end either. Of course humans will probably die out long before we have the technology for deep space traveling where we might have to make that decision.
