Is there a difference between “John is calling” and “John’s calling”?
I mean, can I use an apostrophe and an “s” after John’s name in the above context, and be understood as “John is calling”?
If both have the same meaning, then can I write "cat's an animal" in place of "cat is an animal"?

The meaning is exactly the same. The 's is just a contraction of is. The version with the contraction, John's calling, is less formal.
