Question

What’s the independent clause in the sentence, because he had heard stores of penguins from the other animals the cat was excited to finally see them in person

Answer 1

In the sentence you provided, the independent clause is "the cat was excited to finally see them in person." An independent clause can stand alone as a complete sentence, as it has a subject ("the cat") and a predicate ("was excited to finally see them in person"). The other part of the sentence, "because he had heard stories of penguins from the other animals," is a dependent clause and cannot stand alone.
