Answer 1

For additional reading, here are bite-sized chunks that explain static along with the other keyword "public" (vs private):

Answer 2

Because you add to count two times. A static variable is the same throughout the program. When you call the constructor twice, you add to it each time.

Answer 3

Thanks, I think I understand, count++ = 1 so cat = 1 I call the constructor twice it mean cat c1 and cat c2 is adding up 2, it print 2, is it correct?
