The phrase "a cat in gloves" is used in Thomas Dicken's novel Little Dorrit to indicate a person who adopts an affected air of superiority. A cat who promenaded while wearing a pair of gloves would (presumeably) be the envy of other cats who could not afford such a luxury. Still, wearing gloves, it would not be able to catch any mice!
