kick the cat

To fuck. "A kick at the cat": a fuck. "Cat" from "pussy" and its furry nature, and "kick" probably because of the similarity of the thrusting action to violent kicks.

Dude, I'm so dyin' to kick the cat tonight!

Mard

"Mard" is an old British circumlocation for "shit" that comes from the French "merde" = "shit". As used nowadays as a noun it means a sulky, petulant, ill-tempered attitude, or a person with that attitude.

In that use it's probably a contraction of "mardy bum" (= "shitty ass"), a synonym used in the Arctic Monkeys' song of the same name.

Well, now then, mardy bum
I've seen your frown and it's like looking down
The barrel of a gun.
