Thank you. I have asked a related question here:

Then this should do it.
int age = myCats.Where (c => c.Name == "Whiskers" ).FirstOrDefault ().Age;
Console.WriteLine("The age of Whiskers is: " + age.ToString());

There could be hundreds of cats so looping with foreach seems like an inefficient way to do this.
