Create a program to track the clients of a veterinarian's office. You will need to handle cats, dogs and other types of pets. All pets have a name, an owner's name, an age and a type $($category$)($cat$,$ dog or other$).$ In addition, dogs have a breed and a color. Cats have an indication of long or short haired, indication of clawed or declawed, and a color. Other pets have a type $($snake$,$ bird, lizard, hamster, etc$)$ and an indication of whether or not they require special handling.

Your program will begin by reading a text file $($created by you, in a format designed by you$)$ with a minimum of two pets per type to create a list $($think ArravList$)$ of the pet clients. That means at a minimum, two dogs, two cats and two other pets Display the client list in a user friendly format, ask if the user would like to find or delete a pet by name. When user is done viewing and deleting, save the changed list back to the original text file $($overwriting it$).$ Extra credit for adding new pet via user interface in a user friendly manner $($up to $10pts).$

Interface to program may be textual or graphic $($I don't expect graphics yetl$).$ The program must use inheritance
