I happen to like the more obvious horseshoe rather than the black

discs myself.

However, I think the cat inside the horseshoe is a considered a

charge on top of a charge, which is bad heraldry. Cat above a horsehoe
or a cat between two horsehoes might work, though. That latter is
a bit of "herding".

(not a herald. I just do some paperwork for the Laurel King of Arms
office).
