Without the full problem and the data that goes with it, it's impossible to answer this question fully. However, I can tell you that the null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis are

H0: p%5B1%5D+=+p%5B2%5D

H1: p%5B1%5D+%3C%3E+p%5B2%5D

Where H0 and H1 are shorthand notation for the null and alternative hypothesis respectively. Also, p%5B1%5D is the population proportion of men who own cats while p%5B2%5D is the population proportion of women who own cats.
