I can see that option as well, now that I think about it, that the cat is his feminine side but I also continue to feel that, while it is significant in many cards, in this card gender is only a minor issue; that the meaning of this card transcends that...
though, the more that I look at the card I can see the cat as a symbol of the fool's feminine side as well or at least his intuitive side... I wonder how thinking of the card in that respect would change my interpretation of the fool as symbolic of my boyfriend at home.
as for the fool walking to the right, it seems that if the fool were heading left, it would indicate some idea of return, of going back. Even if the right does indicate what you said, it is also the direction it seems to me he must walk to go upon his journey.
another thing I am realizing just now is that there is a certain amount of irresponsibility and selfishness concerned with the fool; he is some sort of libertine that does what he pleases and it seems as though any person or thing that becomes attached to him on his journey should be advised not to become attached.
call me a redneck, but it almost reminds me a little of lynyrd skynyrd's Freebird...
