I think that the Sly, manipulative nature of cats would match up to Melko (you can actually say that I believe since he was still know as Melko in post LoTRs times as an alternative) in JRRT's view. But I think that cats were chosen for the Tale so that their cowardice and evil would contrast to the loyalty and strength of Huan that Hound. He was definitely a dog person.
