They are both correct. It's "The cat was fed" for one cat (singular) and "The cats were fed" for more than one cat (plural).

I would think it depends on whether you're talking about one cat or more than one cat. (Strictly speaking, in a subjunctive phrase one might ask whether the cat were fed; as opposed to the declarative statement that the cat was fed.)
It would help if your question were written more clearly.

Depends on how many cats. If one cat, then "The cat was fed."
If two or more cats then, "The cats were fed."

Both are correct... the single cat "was" fed and also plural cats "were" fed.

They are both correct. It depends on whether you are referring to one cat (was) or several cats (were).
