Lets say I have an abstract class Cat that has a few concrete subclasses Wildcat, Housecat, etc.

I want my array to be able to store pointers to a type of cat without knowing which kind it really is.

When I try to dynamically allocate an array of Cat, it doesn't seem to be working. Please help?

Cat* catArray = new Cat[200];
