Yes, it is halal to have a cat in the house. Cats are not considered harmful or impure in Islam. However, it is essential to ensure that the cat is well-fed and not tormented. If the cat causes harm or poses a health risk, such as transmitting diseases, it is better not to keep it.
And Allah knows best.
