No: cats are placental mammals. Marsupials are those mammals that rear their young in pouches, for example a kangaroo.

Specifically, marsupials are characterised by bearing very undeveloped young. Not all marsupials raise their young in a pouch. the numbat of Western Australia, for example, does not have a pouch, but the undeveloped young latch onto a teat on the mother's underside, and cling to her belly with sharp claws for several months.

No. Monkeys carry their young to term in the uterus of the mother just like humans and many other mammals. Marsupials give birth to a less developed child that remains the rest of its gestation in a pouch found at the front of the mother.

No. Primates are placental mammals, and marsupials are a separate group of mammals.

Marsupials include kangaroos, koalas, wombats, bilbies, etc.

Primates include monkeys, chimpanzees, gorillas and the like.

Humans do not have a pouch, so we are not marsupials. Humans do not lay eggs, so we are not monotremes. Humans, like most mammals that exist today, are placental mammals, and give birth to live young.
