"There's no doubt," Pam said, "that three cats are a lot to watch. Of course, if she'd had all five, we'd only have had two - her and one. But when there were only two we had to have three. Because they were so fond of each other."
"What?" Bill said, and then said, "Never mind."
"Five kittens we couldn't have kept," Pam said, ignoring the last. So we'd have given away four. But three is just possible."
