How are trying to see it? That is, what command are you using?

Have you verified that mysql believes you are root or dog?

Perhaps I am just misreading your statement "i can't see the 'cat' database
in the mysql list of tables...", but you seem to be confusing database and
table. If cat is a db, then it is not a table in the mysql db. If you are
logged into mysql as a user who has access to cat, you will see it in the
output of
SHOW DATABASES;
You can set cat as the default db by issuing
USE cat;
After that, you can see the tables in cat by entering
SHOW TABLES;
If that's not the issue, you can confirm that you are logged in as the
correct user with
SELECT CURRENT_USER();
and you can check on said user's permissions with (using root@localhost as
the user):
SHOW GRANTS FOR root@localhost;
If I'm on the wrong track, just send any additional info needed to clarify
your problem.
