Lo siento Ashley pero cuando hablamos de una mascota que es del vecino o alguien mas, se puede decir "it". Por ejemplo. Jack says:Did you see the neighbor's cat? John says:Yes, I seen it. Jack says: Did it seem like it was hungry? John says:Yes, it did. That is why I fed it.

It is correct and very common to say "he" or "she" when talking about your pets. People rarely say "it" when talking about pets, only wild animals that do not live in houses.
Examples
If we are talking about a cat: She is hungry.
He has a lot of fur.
We say "he" or "she" because we keep cats as pets.
If we are talking about a tiger: It is scary.
It is huge.
We say "it" because we do not keep tigers as pets.
This is a cultural thing haha.
