Yes
it is a linking verb, not an action. Stuff like the cat was, the cat looked, the cat Seemed sick are all verbs, but they dont do anything.

I would say that sick is the verb showing action, seemed is to be the adverb. We know that cat is the noun. So the noun blank sick?? See it now.

Absolutely! It's a linking verb.

Yes, it is. That sentence is in the past tense of "The cat seems sick." You can also say " It seemed the cat was sick."

Yes. It seems more like a "being" or "existing" verb though, so I can see why you might not think it is.

Yes! The cat is the subject (or noun) and seemed is the predicate (or verb).

Yes. "to seem" is a verb. Seemed is just past tense.
Seem - to appear to be, feel, do, etc.: She seems/ed better this morning.

I'm going to zando your face if you don't stop asking these stupid questions. That means to boil in linseed oil until puffy and yellowed, add salt and pepper and a dash of garlic, then continue to boil until sodden. Allow to cool and set out on the feeder for the crows. That's zando.

I think that it is an intransitive verb with "sick" as an adverb.
