Are you sure that it follows the variable. Maybe what you think is a =
variable in fact is a type definition. Check it.

Here, "const CAT" is type, not variable. When you _declare_ some method, =
you can omit variable. Like in this case.

> 27:      CAT::CAT(const CAT & rhs)

Here, "const CAT" is type, and "rhs" is variable/object. As I mentioned =
before, when you declare a function or method in the class (.h file), =
you may omit the variable/object in declaration. But when you write a =
function/method itself in implementation file, then you specify this =
variable/object.

I am pretty sure, that in the first example above, what precedes the =
ampersand is type.
