Not Quite Feline This Assignment

(My ICT class is making databases. We’ve been told how to use the various different data columns and types and to make a database of the characteristics of our friends. I have the idea to make a cat database instead, which would let me use more of the different data types than one of friends, and ask the teacher if I can do it. However, in my rush to explain, I get my idea across rather badly.)

Teacher: “…Well, I’m quite concerned now, actually.”
