Study a bit how cats (supposedly) see the world, how they behave, and so on. First of all, you should read a bit about cat vision. After all, you are going to describe the world from a cat point of view. From my first shallow research, it seems that cats are good to see at low light hours, like dawn/nightfall and night (obvious enough); they should have lower sensibility on colors (even if here scientists seem to disagree) and higher periphereal vision. The other senses are important as well and can help you give the feeling of the point of view of a predatory animal. Regarding cat behaviour, you can do a similar research. E.g. cats are less active during daytime, they like to sleep on relatively high places (rather than the ground), they have certain cleaning habits, they mark their territory in certain ways ... whatever can help. Of course you are going to give the cat human-like qualities - since cats aren't supposed to have self-awareness - but that is to be expected. How should you play this, however, is entirely up to you.
