-Cat's personalities and dog's personalities are often considered calming to humans. ( Right version: My Cat's personality and my dog's personality are often considered calming to me. If the noun is in the singular, this refers to a particular case. Plural nouns are used to make generalizations).

-Cats personalities and dogs personalities are often considered calming to human's. ( Right version: Cats' personalities and dogs' personalities are often considered calming to humans. Humans is a noun in the plural. It is in the nominative case , not in the genitive case. It is not indicating possession.)

-Cats' personalities and dogs' personalities are often considered calming to humans'. ( Right version: Cats' personalities and dogs' personalities are often considered calming to humans. Humans must not carry the apostrophe because it is in the nominative case.)
