        Oh, dear. I mispelled that as "She has a god and six cats."

            The issue is the audio and translation have mixed up dogs and cats.

                  "Chattes" is for female cats. Since in french, Masculine always win (figure of speech naturally), you have to say "six chats" because you don't know how many are males. The only case it would be correct : if you know for sure that all six cats are females.

                    Maybe we know that they're all female. Now what?

                      Chatte is also a term for a certain body part specific to females. It's a somewhat suggestive term and is better avoided.

                        In a show called Tiny House Nation, there was a family with the opposite - they had six dogs and one cat :P
