What do you get when you cross an automobile with a household animal?

Common Wrong Answers
“Carpet cleaner”
While 'carpet cleaner' involves both an automobile (car) and a household item (cleaner), it doesn't capture the wordplay of combining 'car' and 'pet'.
“Dog”
Though 'dog' is a household animal, it does not involve the automobile aspect nor does it fit the riddle's play on words.
“Cat”
Similar to 'dog', 'cat' is also a household animal, but it fails to connect with the automobile part of the riddle, missing the pun.
