Cat(String name, Cat parent)

Did the task come with this constructor? Because you only need this one:

Cat(String name, Cat mother, Cat father)

to solve it.

solution

I tried your code out with these inputs: larry curley bob sue david bella And the output was: The cat's name is larry, no mother, no father The cat's name is curley, no mother, no father The cat's name is bob, no mother, larry is the father The cat's name is sue, no mother, curley is the father The cat's name is david, sue is the mother, bob is the father The cat's name is bella, sue is the mother, bob is the father The 4th output line is incorrect. It should be: The cat's name is sue, curley is the mother, no father

This task should work with any names - whether or not it says Mother or Grandmother can't be relied upon.

if (parent.name.startsWith("Mother"))
		{
             this.mother = parent;
		}
		else if (parent.name.startsWith("Grandmother"))
		{
			this.mother = parent;
		}

This bit is the problem. It should work if the names were just Mary and Jo.
