  • From Watts.

• • • Catt 'a wild cat' as a prototheme, spelled *Cat*:
    • s.n. Catford - Catford (1332)
    • s.n. Catcliffe - Catclif(f) -clyf(f)(e) (1322-1593)
    • s.n. Catforth - Catford (1332), Catforthe (1514)
    • s.n. Catmore - Catmere (1086-1428)

• • • Genitive singular forms of Catt (var. spellings):
    • s.n. Catsfield - Cat(t)esfeld(e) (12th-15th C)
    • s.n. Catshill - Catshill (1427)

    • s.n. Bardsley - Berdesley (1422) - this one uses a possessive
    • s.n. Barnsley - Barneslai(a), -ley(a) -lay (c.1120-1597)

We also can build it as surname (with or without the possessive) + generic toponym using Juliana's "Compound Placenames in English" (http://medievalscotland.org/jes/EnglishCompoundPlacenames/). Examples:

• • • Bessilles Lee
    • Squirrels Heath
    • Ballardes Wood

And in fact, Watts has an example using "cat":

• • • s.n. Catthorpe - has the compound place name Catthorp(e) dated from 1218

(named after someone named Ysabelle le Cat/Ysabelle Chat).
