difference between So have I and So do I?
Could you help me please? How would you comment the sentence: " I have two cats." With "So have I." or with "So do I."?
Thank you very much for your answer!!

please can you tell me why there is no difference ? i actually would use" so do i!"
when i use present perfect i use that structure .
for instance
me; hey ,i have finished the assignment !
you; so have i! let`s do something else.
i hope i am clear:)

You are not as clear as I am. With the verb 'have' as a main verb (that is, not as a part of a perfect aspect verb formation), both forms are used synonymously.

Hi,
Both are correct as already indicated, but so do I is commoner, in my experience.
I think it occurs because of the following:
Do you have a cat? Yes, I do. I (do) have two cats. [Chiefly American English; modern.]
-- So do I.
*Have you a cat? Yes, I have. I have two cats. [Chiefly British English; somewhat old-fa
