Are the legs of a cat and the fins of a whale homologous or analogous?
Neither. Homologous structures are similar because two organisms came from a common ancestor. Analogous structures are similar because two unrelated organisms were subjected to similar environments. But the legs of a cat and the fins of a whale are not similar enough to be characterized as either homologous or analogous. The ancestors of whales were hoofed mammals, and one could argue that a hoofed mammal's leg and a cat's leg are homologous. However, after millions of years of being in the oceans, whales' fins have adapted such that they are now not at all similar to the legs of a cat.
