yes cause in 1808 a animal expert saw his cat eat chocolate. he then held an experiment and found out that cats have sweet taste buds. his name was Nick Poltour II.

Cats doesn't have the ability to taste anything sweet, since there isn't any nutrient value in anything sweet. They exclusively eat meat. Meat doesn't taste sweet, therefore they don't need the ability. When cats eat ice-cream or cake it's probably for the fat.

Though, in rare cases, cats have the ability to taste sweets. But it's still unhealthy for them. Their teeth can't handle much sugar.

Why is it impossible for us to taste spicy foods despite the absence of a spicy taste zone in the tongue?

You mean why is it "possible" to taste spicy food despite absence of its "taste receptors" in the tongue. Well, its because spicy food contains capsaicin. It is an organic molecule found in chillis and peppers capable to producing a burning feeling upon tissue contact. This is due to it binding to a neuronal receptor VR1, allowing movement of ions and such would result in a burning sensory sensation. That is why "spicyness" can be felt even on your lips when eating spicy food.
