well, in the real world, a cat 'could' turn into mouse.

but only once all the molecules have dissipated (from death).

but whether those atoms will from new molecules, that create a 
mouse, nobody knows.

therefore, I cannot see why CLOS allows you to turn a cat into a 
mouse.

I can only surmise, that CLOS programmers like playing god ;-)

"playing god" != "OOP"

.. but i digress too ...
