Question

Answer

It depends on the gender and number of the word referring to чей, чья, чье, чьи.

чей - masculin singular
чья - feminine singular
чье - neuter singular
чьи - plural

чьи машины? - whose cars?

etc.

Answer

Чей? - мужской род.  Чей это кот?
Чья? - женский. Чья это кошка?
Чье? -  средний. Чье это животное?
Чьи? - множественное число. Чьи это коты? Чьи это кошки?
So it dependes on gender and changes in plural case

Answer

This is a really sketchy guess, but it looks like it depends on the gender of the word.
