(berkucing is not exist in Bahasa Indonesia. You can't use prefix ber- for animal)

8. Apa musik yang kamu suka? / Musik apa yang kamu suka? / Kamu suka musik apa? What (kind of) music do you like?
9. Apa yang kamu lakukan? Lakukan apa yang kamu? / Kamu melakukan apa? What do you do?
(please correct me if I wrong, because when I learned English, my teacher said that "What do you do?" have the same meaning with "What do you do for a living?" or "What is your job?". In Bahasa Indonesia that's mean "Apa pekerjaan Anda?". Apa yang kamu lakukan? in English is "What are you doing?".)
10. Apa yang kamu ingin lakukan? / Lakukan apa yang kamu ingin? / Kamu ingin melakukan apa? what do you want to do?

Apa and Apakah have the same meaning, but Apakah makes the question sound formal and not all question can use Apakah.
For the use of "yang", it has many different meaning depending on the sentence.
examples: yang mana tas kamu? - Which one is your bag?; Tas saya yang merah - My bag is the red one ; Wanita yang duduk disana - The woman who sit there, etc....
if this make sense, "yang" usually use in the sentence to indicate something specific.....

**** no, you can ask e.g: "Apakah yang dimaksud dengan PBB? " and the answer would be "Yang dimaksud dengan PBB adalah Persatuan Bangsa-Bangsa, dalam bahasa Inggris adalah United Nation"
I am not sure about the use of ' yang' however. If anyone wants to respond, thank you in advance.
**** Yang can be meant: whom/who/which/the or the one.
