This or that is/are?

When you have something like:

The cat or dog are/is called...

Is it "are" or "is" I am unsure as it could be either which makes it plural right?

What about these cases:

The cats or dog ____ called...

The cat or dogs ____ called...

The cats or dogs ____ called...

And then the same for if it's "and" instead of "or".
