Used Coffee grounds are acidic with a pH of between 3 and 5. Care should be taken when using them on potted plants other than acid lovers such as Azaleas, Camellias, Gardenias etc. A balanced organic fertilizer is a better option.

Coffee grounds can be used as compost material, fertilizer, or mulch. So they can be applied to the surface, or mixed with the below ground soil. Compost used as fertilizer tends to be applied at the rate of 1/4 inch. Compost used as mulch tends to be mounded to a level of 2-3 inches. But in not any of the three cases should the compmost, fertilizer, or mulch be only of coffee grounds. For the grounds are acidic. So they can be used to slowly, slowly change the soil pH. And they can be sprinkled around such acidic soil lovers as azaleas, blueberries, and evergreens. They should not be sprinkled around alkaline soil lovers such as lupines.
It depends on the plant... most plants will love the increase in acidity (watering removes some of the acid from the soil, but fertilizing every time you water is no good). Once or twice a month, throw some used coffee grounds around the plant (on the soil, not the plant itself). Just make sure that you don't put the coffee grounds on plants like tomatoes (they love 'sweet' soil-whenever fertilizing tomatoes, you should also add some pelletized lime to make the soil more alkalytic).
No, cats should not consume coffee grounds as they contain caffeine, which is toxic to cats and can cause serious health issues.
