How am I failing this task?

Question about the task

Resolved

I do not understand why I am failing this task. I did read in the names of 6 cats in the specified order.

String catGrandFatherName = reader.readLine();
Cat catGrandfather = new Cat(catGrandFatherName);

String catGrandMotherName = reader.readLine();
Cat catGrandmother = new Cat(catGrandMotherName);

String catFatherName = reader.readLine();
Cat catFather = new Cat(catFatherName, catGrandFatherName);

String catMotherName = reader.readLine();
Cat catMother = new Cat(catMotherName, catGrandMotherName);

String CatSonName = reader.readLine();
Cat catSon = new Cat(CatSonName, catFatherName , catMotherName);

String CatDaughterName = reader.readLine();
Cat catDaughter = new Cat(CatDaughterName, catFatherName , catMotherName);

I did program should display 6 lines with information about the cats.

System.out.println(catGrandfather);
        System.out.println(catGrandmother);
        System.out.println(catFather);
        System.out.println(catMother);
        System.out.println(catSon);
        System.out.println(catDaughter);

all the other condition should have been meet. Can someone give me some insight please?

Task: Each cat has a name and a mother.
Create a class that describes this situation.
Create two objects: a daughter cat and a mother.
Display them on the screen.

New task: Each cat has a name, a father, and a mother.
Edit Cat so that it reflects these relationships.
Create 6 objects: grandfather (the father's father), grandmother (the mother's mother), father, mother, son, daughter.

solution

When I enter: Tiger Puss Oscar Missy Simba Coco The correct output should have been: The cat's name is Tiger, no mother, no father The cat's name is Puss, no mother, no father The cat's name is Oscar, no mother, Grandfather Tiger is the father The cat's name is Missy, Grandmother Puss is the mother, no father The cat's name is Simba, Mother Missy is the mother, Father Oscar is the father The cat's name is Coco, Mother Missy is the mother, Father Oscar is the father That isn't what I get when I run this code.

Thank you.

String parentName = parent;

            if(parentName.substring(0,11).equals("Grandmother"))
            {
                this.mother = parent;
            } else if(parentName.substring(0,11).equals("Grandfather"))
            {
                this.father = parent;
            }

            if(parentName.substring(0,7).equals("Mother"))
            {
                this.mother = parent;
            } else if(parentName.substring(0,7).equals("Father"))
            {
                this.father = parent;
            }

I deleted and fix logical of the constructor above.
