Goldie is correct, however, something like this could be spoken in indicative by changing the word order and might even be considered more common depending on region, ie: "que no quiero a mi gato no es cierto,"

Well, the subjunctive conjugation is right, BUT:

  • I wouldn't necessarily use the verb encantar if you're trying to say that you love your cat. I can't say that using it is wrong, but I think it leans more to the side of being enchanted, amazed, or excited by something more than sentimental love (if that makes any sense lol). Ej. Me encanta oírlo leer - I love to hear him read (maybe for someone with a narrator-like voice); Me encanta esta canción - I love this song. Instead of "encantar", I would say: No es cierto que no quiera a mi gato.
  • If you choose to stick with "encantar", I would add the personal "a" so that it'd be "...no me encante a mi gato."

Open to corrections.
