Solution

The black dot denotes the initial position of the cat, and the path it followed is mapped out. The arrow head indicates the position of the cat before every turn, and the direction of the arrow head is the direction in which the cat is looking at. Finally we see the arrow head is pointing towards North, which means the cat is facing towards NORTH.
