Behind the scenes
Cat's Paw is actually a real-life brand of rubber heels manufactured in Canada. The image for the item in Fallout appears on the box for a pair of those heels. The developers of Fallout 2, not knowing the real origin of the image, mistakenly assumed that it's a pornographic magazine.

The Cat's Paw is also the name of a season #5 episode of Mission Impossible (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0649217/)
