From a purely grammatical point of view, I agree with Erinja.
But in a deeper sense, far beyond grammar, let me state something as clearly as possible:
Cats are lovely, and no one who considers them stupid can be good.javascript:aldonuMienon('sal')
Regards,

erinja:You would have to say "Mi estas bona" and "La kato estas stulta".
"Bona" describes "me"; pronouns are grammatically treated as nouns, so you have to have an adjective to describe a noun. Similarly, the cat is being described in the second sentence. A cat is also a noun, so you have to describe it with an adjective. All Esperanto adjectives end in -a, so you'd need in -a ending either way.
If you wanted to describe the verb "estas", you would use an adverb, which is the -e ending. But describing "estas" doesn't actually make much sense. To describe the verb, you'd have to change the verb to have the sentence make much sense. Some choices might be "Mi fartas bone" (I fare well/ I am doing well/ I am well), or "La kato kondutas stulte" (the cat behaves stupidly)
