What the term means.
Cat-eye describes shape rather than a material or attachment method. It can be interpreted using classic extensions, hybrid application or volume fans. Fullness is a separate design choice from where the longest-looking section sits.
The longest section does not automatically belong on the very last outer-corner hairs. A taper can account for finer lashes and differing directions at the edge. Copying the millimetres from a photograph would miss the natural lash geometry that supports the design.

A common question.
Is cat-eye the opposite of doll-eye?
They emphasise different areas: outward for cat-eye and generally central for doll-eye. Actual maps can be adapted between these starting points.
