You are planning a deep space exploration and want to take your cat with you. If your spacecraft achieves a maximum speed of 87% of the speed of light, how much additional energy is required to bring your cat (during the acceleration only)? Express this quantity in units of Petajoules (1015).

Assume you start from zero velocity and your magical cat does not require additional food or litter. The cat weighs 8.5 lbf. Use 3 × 10^8  m/s for the speed of light.
