I have two cats. The white one is the older / oldest.
I have two toothbrushes. The blue one is the older / oldest.
Which one would be the correct one to pick? Do we use 'older' when talking about two and only two animals/items, although they're not human beings who are not relatives (in which case we use 'elder')?
Hope you understand my question! ;-)
Thank you!
