私はこの猫が好きです I like this cat.

To say what you like, use "[thing] ga suki desu." "Suki" or "like" is a NA-adjective. To indicate the [thing] you like, add the particle "ga." If you like "neko" or "cats," say "Neko ga suki desu."

Casual expression:
In a casual conversation, you can omit "desu" at the end of a sentence and just say "XXX ga suki." To ask someone what he/she likes, say “Nani ga suki (desu ka)” or “What do you like?”

"Watashi wa XXX":
When saying what you like, the subject "watashi wa" or "I" is usually omitted. Just say "Neko ga suki (desu)," for example. If you want to emphasize what you think, compared to others, add the subject "watashi wa" or "I." In that case, say "Watashi wa neko ga suki (desu)."
