the self parameter is an instance of the class with which you are working (inside the class's methods). you cannot pass it there, it is automatically passed there by the interpreter so color will be assigned ginger and legs will be 4

This code defines a class named Cat, which has TWO ATTRIBUTES: COLOR and LEGS Then the class is used to create 3 separate objects of that class. WHERE ARE THESE 2 ATTRIBUTES DEFINED FOR THE CLASS SO THAT THEY CAN BE ACCESSED BY THE "SELF" PARAMETER......??

in python you don't explicitly define variables you create attributes just by writing self.attr=something there it is created you can add to your constructor self.age=10 and it will create new attribute
