From the grimm's Fairy Tale book
part 1 of Illustrations for the story Catskin
Her father demands she marries him as she looks like her dead mother and he promised the dying mother he wouldn't marry another unless her hair was as gold and her beauty as on par with her on. The girl is horrified and demands a coat made from all the beasts of the forest and 3 dresses, hoping to disuade her father. Time passes and he proccurs the items and she realizes she has no choice but to run away lest she commit an eternal sin.

If I recall correctly Freya, the Norse and Germanic goddess, had cat skin gloves as well as being drawn on a wagon by a pair of cats. Why I say this is because Jacob Grimm collected his fairy tales as a way of recording the folk tales of Germany. He also wrote "Teutonic Mythology" which was about the Germanic Pagan religion and how people still carry out Pagan-influence customs today ("today" to him, which was probably the mid-1800s). So that little fact probably has a tie to the story you based the picture on.
Your a man who knows his stuff all right!
I took a Grimms to Disney literature class in college and that's been a major influence...that and growing up in a slavic/russian family who didn't tell the "nice stories"..Fairy tales used to be meant to scare chidlren, not entice them.
