Accessing static members without an object.

  
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class Cat
{
public:
   Cat(int age):itsAge(age){count++; }
   virtual ~Cat() { count--; }
   virtual int GetAge() { return itsAge; }
   virtual void SetAge(int age) { itsAge = age; }
   static int count;

private:
   int itsAge;

};

int Cat::count = 0;

void TelepathicFunction();

int main()
{
   const int MaxCats = 5; int i;
   Cat *CatHouse[MaxCats];
   for (i = 0; i<MaxCats; i++)
   {
      CatHouse[i] = new Cat(i);
      TelepathicFunction();
   }

   for ( i = 0; i<MaxCats; i++)
   {
      delete CatHouse[i];
      TelepathicFunction();
   }
   return 0;
}

void TelepathicFunction()
{
   cout << "There are ";
   cout << Cat::count << " cats alive!\n";
}
