      It should be: they desire a dog, I desire a cat

        Desire is a perfectly valid meaning for the verb "a dori" and considering the OP was made 10 months ago, when it appears that the original translation was given as "they wish a dog, I wish a cat", then yes, their suggestion was correct.
