sooooo,
"what *kind* of cats do you have" means that all the cats are the same breed and you're asking about which breed they are.
while "what *kinds* of cats do you have" means that the cats are different breeds and you're asking about which different breeds they all belong to.
hope i helped 😊😅✨

@twinkinasweater That's what I thought, but started to second guess myself. Thanks! yes, that helps a lot!
oh! Also, do you think people ask "What kind of cats do you have?" but mean "kinds of cats?" I hear kind more than kinds.

@somsudakunnikorn You will definitely hear people say “kind” more often. And it also would be grammatically correct to say “What kinds of cat do you have?”
