A simple example of disagreement is a sentence like this: “The dogs runs in the park.” Dogs is a plural noun, but runs is a singular verb. The correct sentence is “Dogs run in the park.” Errors like these can be corrected through careful proofreading.
Show Possession
Singular Possession: The apostrophe comes before the (s). Example: The dog's bones were under the chair. The apostrophe is used to show the single dog's ownership of its bone. Plural Possession: The apostrophe comes after the (s).
The plural form of doggy is doggies.
Ownership. A major use of apostrophes is to indicate possession, or ownership. For example, the bone of the dog is the dog's bone. If we leave out the apostrophe in dog's bone, we have dogs, indicating the plural—that is, many dogs—which will cause momentary confusion for the reader.
The origin of the English word dog has been a riddle for ages. It developed through Middle English dogge from Old English docga, after which the trail seems to go cold. At first it referred mostly to dogs of a coarser nature and was often used disparagingly, also as an insult to people.
By the 16th century, dog had become the general word, and hound had begun to refer only to breeds used for hunting. In the 16th century, the word dog was adopted by several continental European languages as their word for mastiff.

Nouns that don't change in their plural forms (called “zero plurals”) include “series,” “aircraft” and “species.” But most zero-plural words refer to animals, e.g., deer, moose, sheep, elk, walrus, antelope, fish, buffalo, salmon.
An irregular plural noun is a noun that doesn't follow the usual 'regular' rules of English grammar. For example, to make most nouns plural, you add 's' or 'es'. For example, 'dog - dogs'. Irregular plural nouns don't follow the same pattern, for example, 'child – children'.
'Its' is singular, and 'their' is plural. So, the basic rule is to use 'its' with singular nouns and 'their' with plural nouns.
Possessive noun is cat, cat is the singular form, so add apostrophe-s as in RULE 1. 2. The cats' tails are long. The possessive noun is still cat, but this time it is plural and would end in an -s, so add only an apostrophe as in RULE 3.
If you are asking for the plural of "cat and dog," that is "cats and dogs." "Cat and dogs" would mean there are one cat, and more than one dog.
