I think Lisa, in accordance to her Buddhist beliefs and the myth that cats have 9 lives, sort of thinks that Snowball I was re-incarnated into Snowball II, then Snowball III, Coltrane and Snowball V/II-2. Four more lives left.
Well, it didn't say how long it was between each visit to the shelter to get the cats. It must've at least been a few weeks, as it was long enough for Bart and Homer to have all those matches, and I doubt those were daily. Juxtaposing this against the aging of unimportant animals and babies in the series (eg. SLH's puppies were as big as him in a few weeks in "Two Dozen and One Greyhounds", Bart's lizards went from eggs to full growns in a few days in "Bart the Mother", Apu's babies grew up pretty fast in comparison to Maggie) it's entirely possible, though admittedly not very plausible. But not impossible, and therefore, I'm not wrong. Stop acting like I'm crazy. :p
I think Lisa, in accordance with her ability to do simple arithmetic, realizes that Snowball III, Coltrane, and Snowball V are all old enough to have been alive at the same time as Snowball II, and so can't be Snowball II's reincarnation.

This is why you should read more carefully. I clearly started with the words "I think" indicating an opinion. And besides, the behavior and expressions of Snowball V almost seemed as though it knew Lisa, and felt bad that she was rejecting her at first. Besides, wackier things have happened in the show.
China Beach. They killed off some of the characters on that show.
12 O'Clock High. This goes way back, now. Robert Lansing, the star of the show, was killed off and replaced by Paul Burke. Read about it at the "Jump the Shark" web site.
