Biological inheritance involves only abstracts. Cat is abstract, dog is abstract. They both are types, or interfaces. The cat Tom is concrete, it is an object. It doesn't inherit any type, while a cat does.
I have a different perspective on decorators. They bring big amount of composable, small and hence maintainable classes which is a crucial for any object-oriented piece of software.
Felis silvestris is a specific gene pool, Canis familiaris is a specific gene pool. The cat Tom is a specific part of that gene pool. (It's composition all the way down, so to speak)
As for decorators (in vast amounts), if they work for you then all the better.
Oh, I see what you mean now. I just don't view a Cat as a gene pool. I consider it from a behavioral perspective, rather then the one from an internal state. Probably from scientifically point of view your approach makes sense, but I'm not a geneticist, I'm a developer. What I'm looking for are useful abstractions. This one works for me and for somebody else, while it might not work for you.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
