The Speed of Cats

I have had an argument with Starcat about something that may sound trivial to mannys but is very important to cats.

How fast can cats go?

Starcat and I both know that the cheetah is the fastest kind of cat. Starcat says that the fastest anything can go is the speed of light, 186000 miles a second, and that as a cheetah is the fastest kind of cat then that means nothing can go faster than it so the speed of a cheetah must be the speed of light.

I said that although there are no cats that can go faster than a cheetah, there are things that aren't cats that could, like spaceships or Monkey's cloud trapeze.

Starcat is not a cheetah, whatever he says. He is a longcat, like me.
