Zero Day by C. Robert Cargill
The end of the world starts on the day the sentient robots decide to inaugurate their new robot only town. A group of non-robots decides that is bad thing and do something about it. The war starts their. Pounce is a robot care giver in the shape of a tiger. Ezra is in Pounce's care. Ezra and Pounce spend the day fighting their way out of the city. The book takes place in about 48 hours.
I almost gave up on the book. It seemed like a story I'd read before and it owed a lot to Asimov and the three laws of robotics. But the pace picked up when the bad thing happens. It then became a very quick and enjoyable read.
Cargyle was good friends with Harlan Ellison and the book is dedicated to him.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
