Answer

The gramatically correct form is "a dog and a cat". You do see/hear "a dog and cat" which has an identical meaning and people will understand it perfectly well.

Answer

I feel like the second requires more:

I have a dog and a cat.

I have a dog and cat that like to play together.

I have a dog and cat that always fight.

I have a dog and cat that I got from the animal shelter.

Answer

I think the sentence " I have a dog and a cat" is correct.
