Hi Torielisa,
You need "está", not "es".
I'd go with #1, using está. I might put todavía at the end or at the beginning, rather than the middle.

Entonces: ¿Está ese gato allí todavía? - Goyo, Dec 18, 2011
Yeah I should have remember about todavía. Also I had thought estar might be better too. - Tasear, Dec 18, 2011

With my limited knowledge, I would ask:
¿Está ese gato ahí todavía?
