How Long Does It Take For Two Cats To Become 80 Million?
Posted: Mon Nov 26, 2012 12:10 pm
Eighty million cats is a lot of cats. However, you would be surprised how quickly two cats can become that 80 million. If you let two cats breed at will — and then allow their offspring to breed at will, these two cats will have 80 million progeny within a decade!
This assumes two litters per year and 2.8 surviving kittens per litter. Here are the numbers:
First year: 12
Second year: 66
Third year: 382
Fourth year: 2,201
Fifth year: 12,680
Sixth year: 73,041
Seventh year: 420,715
Eighth year: 2,423,316
Ninth year: 13,968,290
Tenth Year: 80,399,780
Wow! If only my bank account would multiply like that!
