Im rereading the chapter and I think I found a piece of the puzzle.

In the chapter there is a mention of this :

;A SIGS(short for "space invader game state") is one of:
;--(make-aimUFO <#%28tech._mix._ufo%29>Tank <#%28tech._mix._tank%29>)
;--(make-firedUFO <#%28tech._mix._ufo%29>Tank 
<#%28tech._mix._tank%29>Missile <#%28tech._mix._missile%29>)



I can do the same for my problem.

; A Vanimal is one of :
; - (make-Vcat ( x happiness)
;   (make-Vcham ( x happiness)

So Vanimal is not a struct but strictly a name.

Am I on the right track.
