My response was "Il gatto enero ed il cane e bianco." I thought "ed" was used before a word beginning with a vowel?

It is really your option as to which one you use, but be careful! Duo likes to get you on nitpicky things like this!

When do you use 'ed' and when 'e'? I originally put 'ed' for this which it marked as incorrect.
One of the suggestions for "and" was " l' ", but doesn't this mean "the"? When can it be used as "and"?

I used (è) for is & "ed" for and- & it was marked wrong. Why is the (e) the correct spelling for and?

"Il gatto è nero ed il cane è bianco." is marked as wrong. That should be corrected.
"Il gatto enero"? That may have been the mistake.
The correct answer is "Il gatto è nero e(d) il cane è bianco." I used 'ed' and got it right. There is a big difference between "e" (and) and "è" (he/she/it is) in Italian. Accents are important.
