So you do not need to say "Sen ve senin kedin.." for "you and your cat" but you do need to say "senin kedin" for "your cat" on its own?

no, you also don't need to say "senin kedin" for "your cat", "kedin" is enough.

There is only one suffix on each of your examples:
(Biz) sakin-iz = we are calm
("Siz" or "Sen" + someone else) sakin-siniz = you are calm (plural or singular formal/respectful)
These are 1st and 2nd Person Plural suffixes for present tense "to be" (a.k.a. Copula): Full chart in Tips and Notes

It is working for me... Are you using the web-version? Unfortunately, Tips and Notes aren't available if you're using the App. (At least for now... fingers crossed they will be added!)

Sen ve kedin = you all (plural)! of course...I'm usually seeing formal singular 'siz' here...

Accusative is used for direct objects of the sentence-- the thing that is being acted on (or being "verbed", as some people call it)-- being found, being eaten, etc. But in this case, "your cat" is a second subject that is being described as calm. :-)
Ok I found the reason. I am confused between verb "to be" and "possessive suffixes"
