Housecat Reproduction

On a (not very) related note how many 4th graders do you think you could take on in one session? 10, 40, 500?

To quote Peter Griffin from Family Guy: "I'd back into a toilet and let them come one at at time. Bang, bang, bang. So I guess 400!"

Nah, sorry. Very bad taste.

He was a bit vague. Gestation period? Litter size? Rats probably would have been better, or rabbits.
It's in GD so I looked at it like a maths question rather than a cat question.

These are excellent analyses. I'm wondering about applications to astronomy.

After 35 years the aggregate mass of the housecats would equal that of the largest known black hole. After 52 years it would equal the mass of the visible universe.

There was a time when the accumulating weight of National Geographic magazines was predicted to cause earthquakes and subsidence, changing the geography of the larger US cities. That would have been a self-referential, positive feedback mechanism, worthy of Soviet Union planning at the time.

No one wanted to throw their National Geographics away.

When I was a kid I'd read the encyclopedia. Nowadays people are getting rid of them. Here in Bali a local restaurant has a dozen complete sets of encyclopedias on display. Not accessible for reading. In general books are now decorations. People often can't give pianos away even though a passable one is superior to the best electric version.
