Create an abstract class

Question: Create an abstract class, Pet, and add the following enumerated types representing the various kinds of commands that users can issue to a given pet, and some responses a pet might give back

The pet base class should store the name and age of the pet as fields (make sure these are marked private, have suitable types, and have associated getter methods -- the getters should be in the base class).

The constructor in the Pet class should read in the name and age of the pet and initialize the fields. The constructor should also throw a new IllegalArgumentException with the message: "age must be positive (and nonzero)" if the passed-in age is less than or equal to 0.

Now override the toString method such that it renders the pet in the form:

pet <classname>: <name>, age: <age>

You can implement this method once in the pet class by retrieving the dynamic type of the object and rendering it's name
