Heh. But kitties are amennable to parallel soultion, or to gated
tasking (through a kitty-door) because each kitty is topoligically
equivalent.
So you could:
Open gate <-----.
| |
v |
Obtain cat |
| |
v |
Close gate |
| |
v |
"Process" cat | <- subroutine detailed in original posting
| |
v |
More cats? Y----'
N
|
v
done
I call this approach KATS-switching... 8-).

I call this approach PURRallel PURRcessing... 8-).
The second, of course, depends on how many midieval old women you can
effectivel say "Nee!" to at the same time.
