Does anyone wanna help me have a conversation in Indonesian?

I'm still a beginner learning on Duolingo so I can speak with my dad but I can't keep a conversation so I'm always speaking in english. Please keep it very simple

download HelloTalk. Lots of Indonesian speakers there and they want to learn English so it’s a good way to learn and teach at the same time.

Kamu punya kucing kucing atau tidak? 🤷‍♂️ What are you trying to ask here actually?

I am really not good I struggled a lot just to make that, I tried to say 'do you have cats or not?'

"Kamu punya kucing atau tidak?" Would be the more grammatically correct one! Btw, would love to help with conversations :) my DM's open if you want to make small talks and try slowly to write simple sentences daily or something. Good luck! All the best in the journey trying to talk to your dad! Haha
