Cat

The domestic cat is a small, typically furry, carnivorous mammal. They are often called house cats when kept as indoor pets or simply cats when there is no need to distinguish them from other felids and felines. They are often valued by humans for companionship and for their ability to hunt vermin.

If a container of cat food was washed under tap water, causing spills, and some small amount of water was added to purify it without removing the impurity, does that make the sink area impure?

When tap water is used and the Najis item (A'yn al-Najasah) is removed then there is no question of impurity remains. Cat food by itself is not necessarily Najis unless it contains Najis ingradeint.

Cat . Waswasa . Tazkiyah (Purification)

I have doubts about cleanliness. A cat peed on my window, and we only cleaned it without purifying. Later, my maid used a wet cloth to clean that window and then used the same cloth on my whole home. What should I understand about the purity of my home?

Everything is Taahir for you unless and until you know for sure that it is Najis. Doubt about Najasah does not mean that the doubted item is Najis with out concrete evidence. If you have concrete evidence that a specific item is definitely Najis, then you can make it Taahir by pouring water in it.
