Cat Character Planning

I have decided fairly out of the blue that I would like to include a cat as a minor character in the story. This is mainly due to my own personal love of cats and drawing them, as opposed to any canon-related reasons. It doesn't have to take up much screen time or relevance, but I think it might be a nice way to flesh out the story and make the world of the characters a bit richer.

I've been looking on Pinterest, Tumblr and Google images for ideas and inspiration. They have lead me to look at existing cartoon cats to draw from.
