actually all of you are right, in little different ways
Desu doesn't exactly translate into anything, it is a polite sentence ender. However, let's take the example given "neko", if you answer "neko", it is acceptable as a complete sentence, but you basically just said "cat". If you add "desu", it gives it a more complete feeling, as if in English you were saying "it is a cat". Desu is often translated to be "it" or "it is".
