Glad to be of service (he said, a trifle belatedly). I believe sanguinity is right; I recall the MTM kitten!Holmes coming up in a conversation quite some time back. (It happens that I was a serious fan of Remington Steele back in the day, so I come by the acquaintance straight from the original airings.)
I should note that I have, in fact, committed something of an homage to kitten!Holmes already, though not explicitly in a Holmesian context (and I find as I look back that I evidently mentioned this to sanguinity at the time). This story, from the period when I was actively writing in Castle fandom, makes extended references to an obscure - and wholly invented - 1970s animated cartoon series featuring a Siamese (and not necessarily Sherlockian) version of the character.
This should absolutely NOT prevent anyone from exploring a more explicitly Holmesian kitten!Holmes. (Or, come to think of it, from expanding on the fragmentary descriptions given in the above-noted story to present an actual episode from the lost 'Clarissa Catnap' archive, because you just know they must have written an explicitly Sherlockian script to justify introducing the deerstalker in the first place. This is exactly the sort of thing that blanket permission statements such as the one in my AO3 profile are written to cover....)
