(I checked timelines and it seems like this story came out slightly before the Cat People movie but well after the short story it is based on, so we can't claim Dorothy as the originator on that one.)

It's also a very straightforward update of the folk motif where people shoot hares or swans or sometimes wolves and the next morning somebody in town is wounded or missing a foot or straight-up dead and everyone feels awkward, but I would not have expected Sayers to be the person who added cats and a contemporary setting.

Also, who shoots a cat just because it comes into their room at night, seriously, what an asshole.
