If I have a class, class Animal.
And I have a class Dog and a class Cat both inheriting Animal.
Cat can call methods inside Animal. But can Cat call methods of Dog?

The methods defined in a superclass are accesible to any subclass. But “sister” classes cannot access the (private) methods of one another.
So if your classes
CatandDoginherit fromAnimal, then bothCatandDogobjects can call methods fromAnimal, but they cannot (must not) access the methods of each other.
