I'm trying to use an array of char to randomly generate but running into errors

#define TRUE 1
#define FALSE 0

typedef struct{
	int weight;
	char name[40];
	int neutered;
}CAT;

int catName = 0;
char *name[6] = { "Fluffy", "Tigger", "Max", "Betty", "Cat-27", "Jake" };
int *neutered[2] = { TRUE, FALSE };
CAT catList[10];

catName = rand() % *name[6];
	

	catList[0].weight = rand() % 30 + 1;
	strcpy_s(catList[0].name, length, catName);
	catList[0].neutered = rand() % TRUE + FALSE;

catName = name[rand() % 6];

Your code looks like C more than C++. And this is C++ board.
Btw, I'll answer in C.

int catName = 0; >> char catName[SIZE]; //define SIZE 20

int *neutered[2] = { TRUE, FALSE }; >> int neutered[2] = { TRUE, FALSE};

catName = rand() % *name[6]; >> strcpy(catName,name[rand()%6]);

catList[0].neutered = rand() % TRUE + FALSE; >> catList[0].neutered = rand()%2; or catList[0].neutered = neutered[rand()%2];

CAT* pMax;
	char *name[6] = { "Fluffy", "Tigger", "Max", "Betty", "Cat-27", "Jake" };
	int neutered[2] = { TRUE, FALSE };
	CAT catList[10];
	char catName[SIZE];

catName[SIZE] = name[rand() % 6];

	catList[0].weight = rand() % 30 + 1;
	strcpy_s(catList[0].name, length, catName);
	catList[0].neutered = neutered[rand() % 2];

catName[SIZE] = name[rand() % 6];

	catList[0].weight = rand() % 30 + 1;
	strcpy_s(catList[0].name, length, catName);
	catList[0].neutered = neutered[rand() % 2];

in main(){...} ?
