    Whose cat is this?

    чьЯ кошка?

    to whose cat did he give the mouse?

    Does чей decline? Is there a dative form?

    ... он подарил мышь?

    Or would you construct this in a different way?

    спасибо

    Yes, possessive pronouns decline, please look at the table:

    Чья кошка это?
    Чьей кошке подарил он мышь?

    note чей versus чьей
    the ь shows up in all forms but the nominative masculine singular (and accusative for inanimates)
