Answer 1

Use Directory apache directive for specifying a particular directory. Then give access directives (allow or deny) inside it.

<Directory "fullpath/_cat_img">
 Order Deny,allow
 Deny from all
</Directory>


<Directory "full_path/thumb">
 Order Deny,allow
 Deny from all
</Directory>

Edit

To activate .htaccess edit your apache conf and inside virtual host section of your website add these.

<Directory documnet_root>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
</Directory>

Restart apache.
