> Wouldn't the mind-reading ability go along with being Catwoman? For example, my cat knows exactly (to the nanosecond) when I am about to fall asleep. He chooses this precise moment every night to jump from the floor directly onto my head. He also knows exactly when I'm going to get up in the middle of the night and what would scare me the most at that time. Usually it's pouncing at my feet as I pass an open door. I swear he knows exactly what he's doing and even plans it.

I see what you mean, but the Catwoman from the Batbooks is sorta like Batman himself, no superpowers, she is just the worlds best theif. The clostest she has to mind reading is really keen instincts.
