In the following sentence the predicate nominative (p.n.) is pet.

This is because the word pet restates the subject of the sentence, which is the word cat. :) Do you understand?

Here is another example:

Two common house cats are the manx and the Burmese.

In the sentence stated above, the predicate nominatives are manx and Burmese, because they restate the word cats. :) It's really simple when you think about it!
