In this case, the use of no article before &#8220;cats&#8221; and &#8220;dog&#8221; is correct because it indicates that the speaker is not referring to any particular cat or dog, but rather to cats and dogs in general.<\/p>\n<p>If the speaker had been referring to a specific cat or dog, they would have used an article. For example, if the speaker had said &#8220;I don&#8217;t like the cat that scratched me, but I like my sister&#8217;s dog,&#8221; they would have been referring to a specific cat that scratched them and a specific dog that belongs to their sister.<\/p>\n<p>The use of articles is a complex topic in English grammar, and there are many exceptions to the rules. However, the general rule is that articles are used to refer to specific nouns, while no articles are used to refer to general nouns.<\/p>\n<p>In the sentence &#8220;I don&#8217;t like cats, but I like my sister&#8217;s dog,&#8221; the speaker is not referring to any particular cat or dog, but rather to cats and dogs in general.
