Display output as columns using grep/awk/sed

I have several files with say something like
Code:
cat
sparrow

I can grep for "cat" and "sparrow" and usually the output is one below the other

Code:
cat
sparrow

How can I view these as columns say

Code:
Pets     Birds
cat      sparrow

Would be great if this can be on command line using awk or grep
