This is called analogous traits. When two different types of organisms are in the same type of environment, usually geographically separated, they come up with very similar adaptions to their local environment.

What is biogeography and how does it support evolution?

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.
