$\begingroup$ completely off the wall question, but are you sure you are a cat and not a dog? $\endgroup$– SteveVApr 5, 2021 at 19:25

I think the answer is
BOMBA
Remove one, my meaning does not change.
BOMBA is the Spanish for BOMB (one letter removed)
Remove two, I am a cat.
Remove all of them, I am a empty spot.
Not sure about this, surely if you remove all the letters from a word it becomes empty - possibly a reference to being cleared by a bomb.
Remove all but one, I am a number.
M (Roman numeral for 1000)
Steal my infix, I am a type of python.

$\begingroup$ I had this exact answer, and for whatever reason put it out of my mind. Well done on getting past the mind trap I apparently had... $\endgroup$ Apr 5, 2021 at 22:23

$\begingroup$ It would work, except that a Boa is not a type of Python. They are related in that they are from the same Order, but they are of different Genus (Boidae and Pythonidae respectively). $\endgroup$– jsmApr 6, 2021 at 18:52

$\begingroup$ @jsm It seems Merriam-Webster has made a mistake then (perhaps OP used the same reference?) $\endgroup$– hexominoApr 6, 2021 at 22:39
