    ak>> Or we can write "cat and dog" without any article?   
      
    PQ> There are no errors in the report at the URL that you cited. The   
    PQ> references to "cat" & "dog" are as a general classification of the   
    PQ> animal type. Not specific animals.

   class or category of something."   
      
   The blue whale is thought to be the largest animal ever to have lived.   
   The computer has changed our lives.
