Firstly, a haploid cell is a cell that contains one set of chromosomes (n). Some examples include gametes (sperm and egg) and prokaryotes. Also, plants have haploid stages in their alternation of generations (or life cycles). This stage is called the gametophyte.
Animals in any stage of development are composed of largely diploid cells. The only cells that are haploid are reproductive cells, either sperm or egg cells. These cells go through a process by which they only receive one-half of the chromosomes of the adult so that when the sperm and the egg from two different individuals come together to form a new individual the new individual will have the correct number of chromosomes.
Sex cells, or gametes, will have the haploid number of chromosomes.

what produces four genetically different haploid cells?
4 haploid cells.
The egg is a cell.

Presumably a cat's reproductive cells (eggs, sperm) would be haploid.

Gametes are haploid cells. They are more commonly known as sperm and egg cells.

Two haploid cells
Yes, sex cells are haploid meaning they have half the complement of DNA that a somatic cell would have.
Haploid, 1N cells, reproductive cells. Not all haploid cells are reproductive cells
No. Haploid cells are produced by meiosis.
Fingers are made of diploid cells. Haploid cells are the reproductive cells.
Somatic (body) cells are diploid. Sex cells (gametes) are haploid.
