Talking I have some small questions about grammer - 08-12-2011, 09:31 PM

Hello , and Thanks for looking. I'm a beginner in Japanese, and would really appreciate if you could answer a few, if not all, of my questions. They all have to do, I think, with grammar.

1) "where is my ___?"

I say, "私「わたし」の猫「ねこ」がどこにいますか?" (Where is my cat?)
But is this proper? Should が come after に?

2) "My cat is on top of the tree" or "There is a cat on top of the tree"

I say, "木「き」のうえに私の猫がいます。" (My Cat is on top of tree)
or I say, "木のうえに猫がいます。" (There is a cat on top of the tree)
Is there anything wrong with either of the two sentences?

3) can 何「なん or なに」 be used by it's self. You know, just as "What?" or do I have to add か at the end?
I thought I heard it one time when I was watching an anime with English subtitles. I've been curious ever since.

4) when referring to my eye should I use います or あります?

どおもありがとう。
