Feat: Summon Hellcat
Class: Sorcerer (10) / Disciple of Asmodeus (4)

Problem:
It seems Summon Hellcat is not cast at effective caster level. Character is 10/4 Sorcerer/Disciple of Asmodeus. The summoned Hellcat has a level of 8, this should be 12, correct me if I'm wrong. This is based on the information from the book of Vile Darkness, the feature Summon Hellcat, Spells and the table which describes Class Level & Spells Per Day/Spells Known.

Summon Hellcat (Sp): A 4th-level disciple of Asmodeus can summon 1 hellcat once per day. This functions as a summon monster spell cast by a spellcaster of his effective caster level. A 9th-level disciple of Asmodeus gains the ability to summon 1d4 hellcats once per day.

Spells: When a disciple of Asmodeus attains 1st level, and at every other level after that, the character gains news spells per day as if he had also gained a level in whatever spellcasing class he belonged to before he added the prestige class. He does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained (improved chance of controlling or rebuking undead, metamagic or item creation feats, hit points beyond those received from the prestige class, and so on), except for an increased effective level of spellcasting. This essentially means that he adds the new level of disciple of Asmodeus to the level of whatever other spellcasting class the character has, then determines spells per day, spells known, and caster level accordingly. For example, if Ulthanc, an 8th-level wizard, gains a level in disciple of Asmodeus, he gains new spells as if he had risen to 9th level in wizard, but uses the other disciple of Asmodeus aspects of level progression such as base attack bonus and save bonus. If he next gains a level of wizard, making him a 9th-level wizard/1st-level disciple of Asmodeus, he gains spells as if he had risen to 10th level as a wizard.

Caster level affects duration, not monster level.
That is not dead which can eternal lie.
And with strange aeons even death may die.
