<p>I'd say that 携带 and 带 have a difference in register. We usually find 携带 in signs or instructions (eg. websites of airlines), which are much formal. But generally speaking, in texts or even conversations, we use 带</p>

<p>As a sign, it is common to see "不可攜帶寵物", "請勿攜犬入內".</p>

<p>However, we seldom use "攜" or "攜帶" in ordinary text; simply "帶" is okay.</p>

<p>I've been writing Chinese sentences just to get myself used to the language, and I tried writing the sentence <em>I carry my cat</em>. I translated this to <code>我携带我的猫</code> (Pinyin: wǒ xié dài wǒ de māo). It sounds odd to have another instance of <code>wǒ</code> in the same sentence.
Is this sentence correct?</p>

yes it is correct.  Just that it sounds tenseless. And usually just 带 is enough,  携带 sounds too formal.

The common meaning of 携带 implies 随身带着, i.e. the thing you carry is supposed to be stably kept close to your body, so we don't say 携带 an animal.

It sounds better if you say 我带我的猫. It's feels too formal to say 携带.

I've been writing Chinese sentences just to get myself used to the language, and I tried writing the sentence *I carry my cat*. I translated this to `我携带我的猫` (Pinyin: wǒ xié dài wǒ de māo). It sounds odd to have another instance of `wǒ` in the same sentence.
Is this sentence correct?
