If cats have nine lives. Does that make them ideal for experimentation?

Us get a life? What on earth prompted you to even consider such an inane question in the first place.?

There must be more information, otherwise the only thing we can say is that it must be an even number and the number in ghkzoo must be a multiple of 5 so that we get a whole number result.  If we know what the maximum number of potential zoo species is  we can work out 2/5 of it -- or rather, 2/5 of the nearest multiple of 5 which is equal to or less than it -- and this would give the upper limit of the possible value, but I'm sure it would be huge.

It depends on the kind of turtle it is. Some can live for a hundred years.

Cat have a memory that is 200 times more retentative then a dogs.  The feline uses his/hers memory for what he regards as usful functions.  So a cats memory is quite selective.

Yes!  I think they can mate all they want, but will never create offspring.  They have different gnomes or something and they are from different major families.  We discussed this when i was in high school in my biology class.  But I believe a dog CAN get freaky and busy with a cat, just no outcome except maybe one sore pu$$y.  lol.\nMaybe someday they will genetically engineer the pet some of us are looking for but until science gets involved i dont think it will ever happen.  Sorry to disappoint.  But then again i have been wrong once before.  lol.

I believe both cats and dogs will be in Heaven. They are pure creatures, who live according to the nature God blessed them with. \nIt is not my concept of redemption that applies her, but God's. And His compassion and love includes dogs and cats.

Housecats generally stop growing around the age of two human years, which would be about 14 kitty cat years (2 x 7 = 14).

The resilience of the cat, especially when falling from a height (and "always landing on hisfeet") has long been noted.  In the 19th century someone finally was able to PHOTOGRAPH a cat falling and observe just HOW the cat had the ability to quickly twist, making the balance adjustment it needed to land as safely as possible.\n\nBut why NINE lives (not seven or eight or ten)?  It might be from the idea that nine was a "trinity of trinities" and so symbolic of perfection or completeness. This would fit with the apparent EGYPTIAN origin of the notion.   \n\nThe specific number probably stems from Ancient Egypt, in whose religion the cat played an important role:\n\n"But why nine? Nine, a trinity of trinities, is a mystical number often invoked in religion and folklore. The cat was once revered in Egypt, and this is probably where its nine lives began. The priesthood in On - known to the Greeks as Heliopolis and now a suburb of Cairo - worshipped Atum-Ra, a sun god who gave life to the gods of air, moisture, earth and sky, who, in turn, produced Osiris, Isis, Seth and Nephthys. These gods are collectively known as the Ennead, or the Nine. Atum-Ra, who took the form of a cat for visits to the underworld, embodied nine lives in one creator."

Schrodinger Said:\n"One can even set up quite ridiculous cases. A cat is penned up in a steel chamber, along with the following diabolical device (which must be secured against direct interference by the cat): in a Geiger counter there is a tiny bit of radioactive substance, so small that perhaps in the course of one hour one of the atoms decays, but also, with equal probability, perhaps none; if it happens, the counter tube discharges and through a relay releases a hammer which shatters a small flask of hydrocyanic acid. \n\nIf one has left this entire system to itself for an hour, one would say that the cat still lives if meanwhile no atom has decayed. The first atomic decay would have poisoned it. The Psi function for the entire system would express this by having in it the living and the dead cat (pardon the expression) mixed or smeared out in equal parts."

A cat is placed in a sealed box. Attached to the box is an apparatus containing a radioactive atomic nucleus and a canister of poison gas. This apparatus is separated from the cat in such a way that the cat can in no way interfere with it. The experiment is set up so that there is exactly a 50% chance of the nucleus decaying in one hour. If the nucleus decays, it will emit a particle that triggers the apparatus, which opens the canister and kills the cat. If the nucleus does not decay, then the cat remains alive. According to quantum mechanics, the unobserved nucleus is described as a superposition (meaning it exists partly as each simultaneously) of "decayed nucleus" and "undecayed nucleus". However, when the box is opened the experimenter sees only a "decayed nucleus/dead cat" or an "undecayed nucleus/living cat." \n\n\nBasically what they are saying is that there could be 2 states at the same time..alive and dead.  There is more at the link below.

Actually, it's not accurate to say that dog's life is 7 years to ours, because dogs have different life expectancies. As a rule, I have been lead to believe that, the larger the dog the less it's life expectancy is, relatively. Apparantly cats can live about 15+ years now, but this depends on whether they enjoy being outdoors or indoors more

Cats have been around for a looooonnnnggggg time! My guess is that they'll be around for at least another 100 years. Do you think you'll be around that long?

6060.  There are 1296 kittens, that makes 5184 kitten legs.  There are 216 cats, that makes 864 cat legs, and there are 6 guys, that makes 12 human legs.  6060 legs in total.

Well I have 4 cats.. I just like animals. I always threatned to grow up to be the weird old lady on the hill with 50 cats. For some reason cats are like Lays potato chips .. you cant just have one.\n\nThat is kinda gross.. maybe you should talk to her about it... ask her if she would let animal control take some of them to a no kill shelter.

My view is that if it can save a human life by killing a few dogs and cats then im all for it.\n\nIf you are talking about dogs and cats used in beauty test ... i say let humans test em, lol.\n\nok some big words coming but bear with it and keep reading.\n\nnow seriously, if you want to make a case for pro-animal test, then look up "Something the Lord Made."  It is a film about the first doctor(s) who did open heart surgery. The main doctor in the film was able to find a cure/treatment for Traumatic Shock that has saved countless lives. This procedure was tested on animals. Later this same doctor tested on animals to try and cure "Blue Babies," AKA children born with the tetrology of Ferlo (i didn't spell that one right). His procedures were once again only able to be tested on animals. This to has saved countless lives as today there are about 130,000 heart surgeries done yearly. All possible by the poineers who tested on animals first.\n\nSorry i don't remember their names out write but looking up the movie you will be able to find their names.  Your teacher might even let you use the movie as one of your sources for your essay.

Get a couple of cats.

Yes. He stated that the act of observing a system changes it's outcome. If you put a cat in a box with a radiation source, it will eventually kill the cat. However, with the box closed, you don't know if the cat is dead. Consequently, the cat belongs partially to the Dead sample and the Living sample. You will only know if you open the box and look.
