first: it isn't OOP, as long as "inheritance" is NOT part of the deal.
second: you are stll using "shared" variables (which is the "most critique part" of all).
Try to do it, without that "shared" nonsense and, you're on the way to better code.
But when I remove the shared they are no longer seen within the update and display routines.
So do I display everything in the main loop as shown below?
With inheritance I assume you mean deriving the cat class from the animal class or some such thing?

That is definitely one way of doing it.
If you need to pass variables to procedures, then you have to "pass" them as parameters (aka: arguments).
They must of course be redefined accordingly ...

Learn to pass parameters to functions as required. Also, try not to hardcode limits nor using 'magic numbers'.
Thanks for the input Paul, I will see how I can use it in my own code.
I like BASIC for reading much like a natural language so I avoid short cuts like ? for PRINT or using C-like code although I do realise the speed enhancement such c-like code can sometimes offer.
It will be a challenge to figure out how to finish this OO virtual cat project as I add more features to it.
Have added another cat which I will probably call Ginge :)
Perhaps a zoo full of virtual animals to be looked after with all their different needs and behaviors.
