require 'celluloid'

class Cat
  include Celluloid

  def initialize(name)
    @name = name
  end

  def speak
    5.times do
      puts "#{@name} says meow!"
      sleep rand(5) #simulate a task that takes a few seconds to execute
    end
    terminate
  end
end


cats = Array.new(3) do |i|
  Cat.new "Kitty number #{i+1}"
end

cats.each(&:speak!)

sleep 2 while cats.any?(&:alive?)
