Will Irenicus kill my familiar.

I've grown rather fond of my little kitty companion. (If I were to ask for a feature request it would be go give my cat a name - so the dialogue says more than 'cat - backstab 6 damage).
Since familiars weren't in the original BG1 there was never any import issues about taking it with you into BG2.
I was just wondering if Irenicus will throw the charred corpse of kitty at my feet, probably turned inside out as well. Or will I find him meowing in a cage somewhere in the dungeon.
