What's the difference between "fin" and "vacker"? Is "fin" for objects (like clothes) and "vacker" for living things (like cats)?

Is the adjective modifying the pronunciation of 'djur' here so there is no d or is there an error in the audio?
I understand why this is "Cats are beautiful animals" ... But I wrote, "cats are a beautiful animal" without thinking why this wouldn't be in a language course. What I wrote is a much more abstract phrase, but one that would still be used in English with the same meaning.
Only if there was a species specified, though - "They are a beautiful animal" would indicate "they" is in a singular form. But since "cats" or "wolves" cannot be a singular form the rest of the sentence, whether plural or singular, is understood as plural.
