I also have a thing for the cat motif in fashion and I believe novelty feline prints and accessories are a really great way to add fun and quirkiness to Spring wardrobes.
The Miu Miu Spring 2010 runway was littered (bad pun intended) with cute, playful cats on clothing, shoes, bags, jewelry - you name it, cats were on it.

Here are some little known and interesting (to me anyway) cat facts taken from www.catscans.com: (N.B 7 days left in auction)
- Ailurophilia is the "love of cats".
- The nose pad of a cat is ridged in a pattern that is unique, just like the fingerprint of a human.
- The domestic cat is the only cat species able to hold its tail vertically while walking. All wild cats hold their tails horizontally or tucked between their legs while walking.
- Sir Isaac Newton, discoverer of the principles of gravity, also invented the cat door.
- A cat will amost never "meow" at another cat. This sound is reserved for humans.
- A group of kittens is called a "kindle" and a group of grown cats is called a "clowder".
Also, here's a Vogue fashion spread from 2008 which features cute Persian cats and model Karen Elson with hair, makeup and outfits inspired by the fantastic Grace Coddington.
