Not sure what's in the code, but I think each cat (which is some sort of entity by itself) is composed by body parts, which at the lowest level owns a bunch of attributes/components. Would that make sense?

The bug in this case was the minimum alcohol value a cat could like from its paws was above the cats LD100, so if they licked their feet when soaked in beer they would die.

Ah, that's interesting, so it's actually a bug. But yeah it shows the sophisticated system underneath.
