[...]
// Pass a pointer to a SimpleCat object
// not a pointer to an int
void Function1(SimpleCat *pRags);

int main()
{
int a;
SimpleCat * pRags = new SimpleCat;
// pRages is already a pointer so you can omit the &
Function1(pRags);
// Use the -> operator
cout << Frisky->GetAge();

// Se above
void Function1(SimpleCat *pRags)
{
pRags->SetAge(50);
