Lets us take instances of two classes

public abstract class Shapes
{
      public abstract void draw(Graphics g);

}


public class Rectangle extends Shapes
{
     public void draw(Graphics g)
     {
          //implementation of the method 
     }
}

here the class Rectangle has extended class Shapes and implicitly it extends class Object.I know no other extension is possible but cant we call inheriting classes Shapes and Object multiple inheritance?(Since inheriting two classes is multiple inheritance from one perspective)
