          I'm not sure whether in portuguese it is said "Gatos comem..." or "Os gatos comem..."

            Both seems correct, but as it is a defining/explaning something, we usually dont use the definite article to start the sentence.

                  What about: Gatas nao comem bananas. Is this correct?

                    Also right. But as this sentence is used in general sense (both male and female cats), the masculine form should be used.
