Cats of the nerd pod

In the nerd pod, cats are important secondary companions to the natural phenomenon known as "nerding". The nerds in their natural habitat are happily typing away at their computers, and depending on the mood of the cats, one or more will be curled up on one of the nerds. A highly elusive situation is the "triple-cat pod", which is when each of the three nerds have a cat. It is highly elusive because one of the cats tends to only curl up for about ten minutes straight, as well as the fact that it often signifies that one member of the nerd pod must leave for the night.

you forgot the other possibility, also rare - all three cats on the same nerd. (usually me). Doesn't last long, unless the nerd is very still. Usually a "triple nerd" happens just about the same time as needing to use the bathroom, or when a leg cramp is setting in.
