OOP examples such as these and their instruction in traditional schooling is arguably one of the biggest failures of computer science education of our time. This is literally the last thing object oriented patterns are ever used for (depicting real world objects as members of categories). They are primarily designed for describing systems that are managing the user's interactions in the software rather than representations of real-world physical objects.

The only time these overlap is in video games, which is usually not used as the context for teaching software development when OOP is taught.
