Translating "lesen" does not require the present progressive tense ("are reading"). "Our cats read the newspapers" should also be a correct answer.

"the newspapers" (i.e. some specific newspapers) would be die Zeitungen, but that's not what the German sentence says.
"Our cats read newspapers" (without "the") should be accepted.

No - it's just a slightly silly sentence to practise vocabulary and grammar.

Come on, Duolingo! you can do better... The sentences should be more pragmatic and align with real interactions.

Your correction insists on the english present continuous tense but the simple present should be correct too.
