        Both the noun and adjective describing it should be used in Instrumental.

        Isn't 'this cat is a bad one' a better translation as 'this cat is a bad cat'?

          In English we would usually say "This is a bad cat"

              Does "zły" also mean "evil"? This is what "zloj" means in Russian.

              Anyone else always translate 'zły' as "evil" when it's referring to a person/animal?

              "Bad" is a lame word when "evil" can be used instead. :P

                We mustnt use the word 'cat" twice in this sentence,cause it doesnt sound in Enlish. We have to translate "This cat is angry" Thats it!
