Comments
I agree with Jasgirard. 'I have a cat' is more natural. 'have got' is more common for inanimate objects. For example, 'I have got a question.' and 'I have got an idea.'
"Have got" is perfectly acceptable in British English, both for "I've got a cat" and also with a verb to indicate "have to/must" such as "I've gotta go". So I have recorded a British version for you.
I've also recorded some contraction forms so you have both forms for the positive and negative sentences: the "I have got" and "I've got" so you can hear the contracted forms.
Hope that helps!
