No.

//i want to make a menu for my 4 classes all inherited
//dog cat kitten puppy  

I see no evidence of a menu class. All I see is an array of int.

I'm afraid I misread the original post. However, you obviously cannot store pointers in an array-of-ints.

Domestic* menuarray[4] = {new Puppy};

i want to make a menu now

//my beginning of my pointer to array menu
Domestic* menuarray[4] = {new Puppy(age,birthday), new Kitten(age), new Dog(age), new Cat(age)};




//function for menu

int menu(int operation)
{
	cout << "1. Puppy" << endl;
	cout << "2. Kitten" << endl;
	cout << "3. Dog" << endl;
	cout << "4. Cat" << endl;
	cin >> operation;
	
	return operation;
}
