I think the more realistic interactions would be way funnier than Klingons having a soft spot for it.
For example, you know the Klingon that lost his eye lost it in an actual fight with the cat when it did the whole wait and ambush thing and swiped at him in passing, just for the Klingon to jump back and yell something about fighting your enemies honorably… Then the cat pounces his face because it’d be one hell of a traumatized cat with a hair trigger when Klongons start yelling.
They never kill the cat because they need it, and after that incident, they respect it.

It fears nothing, not even the mighty Klingon! I have seen it survive 9 deaths! Do not cross the black ones path!
