Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduction

In Java, we want to create a class called Cat that represents cats. Cats have certain characteristics like their name, age, color, and whether they are domestic or feral. The color of cats can be things like white, cream, fawn, and so on.

We also need to add some actions that cats can do, like eating and playing.

To create Cat objects, we use something called constructors. We need to make two different constructors that allow us to create cats with different sets of initial information.

We want to keep track of how many cats we create, so we'll add a special counter that counts the number of cats. This counter should be shared among all the cats, so we'll make it a static variable. To find out how many cats we have, we'll create a static method.

Finally, we need to test our Cat class by creating two instances (two individual cats) and see how it works.
