Do you mean when they meet in her father's house? Because that it where they meet (and get into a big argument). Or do you mean after the wedding when they go to Petruchio's house he inherited from his father, where he won't let her eat because he keeps complaining about the food.

Which Shakespeare play features petruchio and kate?
The Taming of the Shrew
What does Petruchio tell Hortensio to do in line IV iii 162 and what does this imply about Petruchio's behavior?
I think the line you are pointing to is this one: "Petruchio: Hortensio, say thou wilt see the tailor paid--Go, take it hence, begone and say no more." The last half of the line may be addressed to the tailor rather than Hortensio. Here's the context: Petruchio has ordered a gown and hat for Kate, but as soon as they are brought to the house he rudely complains that they are not made properly and throws the tailor and haberdasher out. His line to Hortensio shows that this is all a show. The clothes were made properly, and Petruchio would not cheat the workmen by not paying them. His rant about how awful they are is for Kate's benefit and Kate's alone. It is not an expression of his real views. His real purpose is to teach Kate to hide her real thoughts and feelings when it is not appropriate to reveal them.

Do Kate and Petruchio belong together?
Yes, very clearly. Petruchio is just about the only man who Kate cannot dominate. In her heart of hearts, she does not really want to bully everyone around her, but this is the only way she knows of to get things done at the beginning of the play. From Petruchio she learns that you can get your own way without bullying, for which she is truly grateful. For Petruchio's part, it is possible to view him as a man who is shopping for a wife in the same way as people shop for furniture, and he certainly appears this way at the start. Kate the bully would indeed be impossible to live with as everyone tells him, and his plan to "kill a wife with kindness" makes her into someone with whom it is possible to live. However Petruchio chose her, does not give up on her, and in the end shows both affection and trust toward her. Of course this is a play with a lot of different interpretations, and the director can make it appear that Petruchio is himself an abusive bully, or that Kate is an insane maniac and a danger to society. Viewing them as people with needs rather than caricatures probably makes for a better play.
