Random Generator with known characters

I have a list of known character names Cat, Dog, Goose...etc. These names need to be randomly set into a matrix size 20 x 1
Would look like :
[Cat, Dog, Dog, Goose,Cat,..]
How would one go about using rand to create a matrix such as this.
Thank you!

Use randperm() or randi() One of those resamples without replacement while the other resamples with replacement (I'll let you read through the documentation to decide which is best).
c = {'cat','dog','goose','rhesis macaque','mongoose'};
cr = c(randperm(numel(c)));
% or
cr = c(randi(numel(c),1,20));
