It's not impossible that they will make some assumptions, less so for a cat than a dog but it realty depends on your problems with the PIP activities.

In the case of claiming for mental health grounds I'd heard that sometimes even having a cat can count against you as it can be considered that you must be well enough to care for your pet & thieir daily needs. Due to this I chose not to admit to having a cat, even though a neighbour comes down once a day to check if cat or me is in need of any assistance & cares for him when I'm not able to.
