Both `Cat` and `Dog` must be defined as extra models using the `@ApiExtraModels()` decorator (at the class-level).

#### Schema name
#### Schema name and description

As you may have noticed, the name of the generated schema is based on the name of the original model class (for example, the `CreateCatDto` model generates a `CreateCatDto` schema). If you'd like to change the schema name, you can use the `@ApiSchema()` decorator.

The model above will be translated into the `CreateCatRequest` schema.

By default, no description is added to the generated schema. You can add one using the `description` attribute:

```typescript
@ApiSchema({ description: 'Description of the CreateCatDto schema' })
class CreateCatDto {}
```

That way, the description will be included in the schema, as follows:

```yaml
schemas:
CreateCatDto:
type: object
description: Description of the CreateCatDto schema
```
