Depends on whose cat it is. See the tips and notes for possessives

So both 'til' and 'for' here can be used interchangeably?

How come "Jenta synger for katten henne" is wrong? It's saying that it should be "Jenta synger for katten hennes", but I thought 'hennes' was only to be used when the thing being possessed is plural? So, it'd be used like "Jenta synger for kattene hennes."

'henne' means 'her'. the '-s' applies posessive case.
