The toy which belongs to the cat can also be written as the cat’s toy.

Putting ‘s after a noun (remember a noun is the name of a person, place or thing) tells you that someone or something owns whatever comes next. The cat owns the toy. The toy belongs to the cat.

Read carefully and choose the correct usage of the apostrophe.
