I think that's what I tried: חתולה קתנה. It told me it was a typo and gave the masculine form. Oh! I used the wrong "t". Gets me every time!

No, חתול הקטן doesn't work, it doesn't translate to that. It goes like this:
A small cat - חתול קטן
A cat is small - חתול הוא קטן
The cat is small - החתול קטן
The small cat - החתול הקטן

Because it's not "the small cat".
If there is no "the" in English, there won't be ה in Hebrew.

Adding ה at the end usually makes the noun, and especially adjectives and verbs feminine. So, חתול is a male cat, חתולה is a female cat. The same way, קטן is masculine adjective and קטנה is feminine adjective.
