Cat
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference.
The cat (Felis catus) is a small predatory mammal from Earth, often kept as pets among Humans. Examples of cats kept as pets include Spot, owned by Data, (TNG: "Data's Day", "In Theory", "Schisms") Neelix, owned by Reginald Barclay, (VOY: "Pathfinder") and Chester, owned by Liam Bilby and later Miles O'Brien. (DS9: "Honor Among Thieves", "Time's Orphan")
In 2267, the alien Sylvia demonstrated the power to assume the form of a cat. She accomplished this feat with the aid of a device called the transmuter, which was the one element of her wardrobe that did not change shape. (TOS: "Catspaw")
In 2268, the Enterprise encountered Gary Seven, an agent of a benevolent alien power that interfered to prevent civilizations from destroying themselves. He was accompanied by a cat named Isis, who was more than she initially appeared to be. Exactly what she was remains a mystery. She was evidently capable of understanding Gary Seven, and of communicating with him in at least a rudimentary fashion, and she accompanied him wherever he went. (TOS: "Assignment: Earth")
In 2269, the crew of the Enterprise encountered a mechanical manifestation of a cat while visiting the Shore Leave Planet. (TAS: "Once Upon a Planet")
In the anti-time future seen by Jean-Luc Picard, Data had amassed a diverse collection of cats while a professor at Cambridge University. (TNG: "All Good Things...")
