[info]enochsmiles: Odin and Bounce are getting old. We should get a kitten soon so that Bounce can teach it how to be a sweet kitty.
[info]maradydd: We could do that.
[info]enochsmiles: Where would we look to find a kitten?
[info]maradydd: People give them away on Craigslist a lot.

How old is old?

I have found that three animals are, oddly enough, far more than two. :)

Bounce is 11, Odin is almost 9. I've had cats live to 15 or so, but Bounce has asthma, and although she seems pretty healthy otherwise, she is definitely getting on in years.

And, yeah -- when I was living in an apartment with three adult cats and four kittens, my friend [info]madandrew came up with the Exponential Cat Rule: the effective amount of havoc that N cats can create together is equivalent to the amount of havoc that N^2 cats could wreak alone. So seven cats in the house ~~ 49 cats' worth of damage...

A similar rule works for children by the way.

9 cats worth of damage is accurate for my part!

Hee. :) The rat rule involves more calculus than I can explain.

1 rat is 1/2 a rat -- they go nutty and tweaky and withdrawn. Or you hold then all day and they become 1/2 rat, 1/2 human.

Two rats is one rat.

Three rats becomes five rats.

Four rats are seven.

From there it seems to be 2n.

This all assumes rats of the same sex of course. Otherwise 5 rats becomes 1300 rats in a few years, as that Petaluma guy found out...

CAT, n.   A soft, indestructible automaton provided by nature to be kicked when things go wrong in the domestic circle.
