Speaking of cat painting, my old black kitty was fascinated with the movement of my watercolor brush while I was working on a piece many years ago. (It also happened to be a painting of him.)
He took a swipe at the moving brush and caused me to make a loose wide swath across the area I'd been working on. Turned out it was just right and I left it as it was.
As far as other painting tools, I often blend with my finger or a paper towel. My left pinky fingernail makes a great built-in mahlstick. And there is a Seattle artist who paints spectacular, richly colored landscapes with the edge of a cut up credit card.
