Another Way to Say "I have a cat."

一人ぼっちで寂しくないですか? Don't you feel lonely since you are alone?
いいえ、私には猫がいますから。No, I don't. I have a cat.

As you can see, the sentence structure "AにはBがいる" can mean A has B. I will give you some more examples.

私には姉が二人いる。 I have two older sisters.
ひろ子には強い味方がいる。Hiroko has a reliable supporter.

If B is neither an animal nor a person, then the structure must be "A には B がある." 

一人ぼっちで寂しくないですか? Don't you feel lonely since you are alone?
いいえ、私にはいろいろな趣味がありますから。No, I don't. I have many hobbies.
