Cat Proximity

I've written here before about the comic called xkcd. By reading this comic for more than about a week, I think I've set a new personal record for paying attention to a regular web publication.

Today's comic is a gem about cats, and all the cat owners among you will surely be able to relate to this one.

LOL...ain't that the truth?!!!

Could you comment on the mathematical significance of the intersection point of these two quasi-exponential curves? and perhaps their asymptotical behavior at locales demarked "far" and "near"?

I really like that comic in general, but this is a real gem. Thanks.

pretty kitty :)

Hmmm....I don't know about you, but to me, the bottom line looks like a parabola something along the lines of y=(1/5)(x^2)+2, but that's just a guess. I always like scientifc explanations involving cats, especially Schrodinger's cat.

that is so good ^^
