4. The cat is in a good mood. It's just had its breakfast.
This one is tricky. Here "It's" is a contraction of "it" and "has" instead of the usual "it" and "is." And the possessive form of "its" is without an apostrophe even though many possessive forms that end in "s" use an apostrophe.
Many native born educated English speakers make this mistake. You even see it sometimes in newspapers and books. Just remember that "it's" with an apostrophe is always a contraction, and that the possessive form of "its" never has an apostrophe.
The rest of your sentences are correct.
