Et cetera means "and the rest" in Latin. It is often used in English to continue a list that is longer than what can be normally written. People most often write "et cetera" as etc. Very rarely, it is also written "&c" because "&" is the same as "et". It is also the symbol for "and". Some people write it as "ect", this is wrong.
For example, "I have pets like cats, dogs, cows, horses, kangaroos, rabbits, etc."
