Default Can I use a formula to filter data?

Hi I just wanted to know if there was a formula I could use so data in column
A could be replicated in column B except without certain values from column A
which contain certain bits of text.

For example, if column A text contained the word "dog" I would want it to
show in column B but if it contained the word "cat" I wouldn't. But I don't
want blank spaces in column B next to the "cat" cells, I want the data to
move up so column B only contains "dog" cells with no spaces in between.

So the columns would be like this:

Column A Column B
Black Cat Black Dog
Brown Cat Black Dog
Black Dog Brown Dog
Yellow Cat
Black Dog
Brown Dog


Is this possible? Thanks in advance for your help!
