0Hi,02br
02br
00You can say these things, but it is more natural to just say 'I have cats'.02br
02br
00'Can I say?' is not the same as 'Is this natural to say?'. One can say many things that will sound very unnatural.02br
02br
00Why don't you try to write a short paragraph about pets?02br

0No, as Nona said, taking care of your pet is not a "hobby."02br
02br
00Hobbies may include stamp collecting, crafts, knitting, boat building, even singing in a barbershop quartet, but not taking care of your own family pets. 02br

00I have three cats. I enjoy their company, and taking care of them is a pleasure.0-

0Hi Vincent,02br
02br
00As I told you earlier, people are starting to find your questions very repetitious and even, to be completely frank, a bit irritating .02br
02br
00Try to write a short paragraph. You will find that people are more willing to spend their time helping you, and it will also be a better way to improve your English.02br
