Sailing 31ft cruising cat?

Hello!

A couple of questions about sailing cruising cats.
HoW is the safest Way to sail a cat? With the Waves coming in from the side / from behind / toWards you?
Does the cat capsize forWard and not like a monohull, on the beam?

If it gets very Windy, shall a cat sail doWnWind or Wind from the side?

Is it totally crazy to cross the pacific from Panama to Marqeeses With a 31ft crusing cat, beam 15 ft? Is it judged to
fail? hoW big shall breaking Waves become (and hoW tight betWeen em) to capsize a cat like above?
