Mandaly, I'm still searching the Haitian Creole word 'chat'. How popular is its usage? Is the pronunciation tha same as the English word 'chat'?

First of all, "chat" is a French word. It means "cat" in English.

Chat - French pronunciation is "sha"
Chat - Haitian Creole pronunciation is "shat"

In Haitian Creole this word is used in many proverbs and idioms. I'm listing the few that i can remember here.

1. Chat mawon - wild cat
2. Chat mawon - someone who commits white collar crimes
3. lage chat la - let the cat out of the bag
4. Tèt chat - being of poor quality, being unreliable, not authentic
5. fè pa chat - cheating on your significant other
6. chat pa la, rat pran kay - cat's away, mice will play
7. viv tankou chen a chat - living a cat and dog life
good luck in your search

Hi Mandaly, does this phrase have a non-literal translation? Or does it simply refer to confusion? "Mezanmi se mele mwen mele!"

Hi. This expression does not have a literal translation.
Mezanmi se mele mwen mele - Oh dear! I'm stuck, Oh dear I'm in trouble, or Oh dear! I'm in deep *#@%!

Mele - mixed, stuck
Mezanmi is derived from the french 'Mes amis'. Its literal meaning is 'My friends'.
Mezanmi is an interjection, it can be translated as: Oh dear!, Geez!, Oh God!
Both definitions are used in Haitian Creole.
Example:  You walk up to a group of people in a meeting and you say, Bonjou mezanmi! meaning 'good morning everyone' or 'Good morning friends!'
Or,
You are driving on the road and another driver just rear-ended you, you'd interject, "Mezanmi!"
Or
You're listening to the news and just learned of a very hainous crime that someone had committed, you may also interject, "Mezanmi! what is this world coming to?"

Notes you'd be interested in:
When you see this type of phrase "se mele mwen mele" (where the verb, adjective or attribute is doubled), it is a sort of authentication of the said sentence.
Example:
Se mache map mache - I am just walking
Se li map li - I am just reading
Se grangou mwen grangou - I am just so hungry
Se kontan mwen kontan - I am just so happy
Se kouri map kouri - I am just running
Se pale map pale - I am just talking
Se vini mwen vini - I am here.

That's an interesting one!
Although the Creole word "chat" means 'cat', often Haitians will use that word to describe a burglar or a "very" private part of the female anatomy. 

The meaning is in the context.
"I would have held that cat somewhere else."
"I would have caught that cat somewhere else."
