Riddle

Stealthy as a shadow in the dead of night, cunning but affectionate if given a bite. Never owned but often loved. At my sport considered cruel, but that's because you never know me at all.

Choose an answer

A.A fox
B.A wolf
C.A ferret
D.A cat
Hint: It's a 2-word phrase with 4 letters, starting with "A".

Answer

A cat

Why this is the answer

Cats prowl silently at night, can be loving despite their independent streak, and though famously never truly "owned" by humans, they're beloved companions -- their hunting instincts just get an unfair reputation for cruelty.
