For 1 and 2 it depends on your intention.
1 is correct.
2 has some mistake on present...be careful with subject verb agreement presents are.
3 is correct.
4 is acceptable.
I hope my corrections can help you.

1. This is correct if the other person gets one cat and you get multiple dogs.
2. This is almost correct if there are multiple cats and multiple dogs involved. The change needed is "is cats" rather than "are cats"
3. This is correct.
4. "He is your brother. This is my brother." would be more clear for this one.
