You would either go with the proper order of "Er det umuligt grundet katten?" or, if you want to make that odd train of thought, "Grundet katten, er det umuligt?" The punctuation is the crucial part here. :>

The subject always goes right behind the verb in those cases, even if the phrase you put in the front comes from further away.
- Jan har sparket meget hårdt til mig i dag.
- I dag har Jan sparket meget hårdt til mig.
I'm not sure I understand your response to the question of can "fordi" be used rather than grundet. You say "grundet has a businesslike tone to it, so you won't normally hear it." Does that mean that fordi is used more often? I am confused because you begin with the answer No but then describe a yes answer. Could you clarify a bit more?

No. If you're talking about the cat stating something, you'd say "ifølge katten".
Ifølge loven - according to the law
