I'm am very much a novice at astrology too. I will try my best though. Sorry if I repeat others' answers. Others, please let me know if I am doing this right:
1. Cats - I think a Sag sun, asc and venus (your hobbies and loves) helps. Off memory, a love of all animals comes from sag. 12th house placement may help in having some sort of spiritual love of them and animals in general? Also jupiter in leo too. Leo as we know is about cats and lions and I think they would rule both. Jupiter is about expansion, so positive relationship with cats. Also a trine between jupiter and sun in your chart and a wide trine between venus and jupiter. I also notice that there is a biquintile between jupiter and uranus, creativity and excitement between you and cats? But jupiter square pluto - control issues? Also your pluto is in sco and jupiter in the 8th - a deeper connection or trying to penetrate/discover something?
2. Wild west - again, I think it is Sag thing. Sag is associated with expansion (here the expansion to the west) and Sag's "negative" qualities is associated with recklessness and wildness. Joyriders in cars and daredevils for example, often have some strong sag/jupiter placement. I equate the Wild West to these activities and with you, its just the sag thing again. Maybe uranus in 1st house too - rebelliousness, newness, unpredictability, tumult, revolution. These things also come to mind with the wild west with me.
3. Drawing - placement of venus in 12th - spiritual connection? Venus trine jupiter again, ability to display a good and expansive artistic talent.
Also mercury sitting on asc is good. As asc has to do with outer perceptions, and mercury hand co-ordination, the mercury has an impact with your ability to coordinate. You also have 3 biquintiles and one quintile, this would help. Pisces sits on your 3rd house cusp - communication through a spiritual way, taurus on 5th (so the ruler of venus on the house of creatiivity); libra on 10th/MC - a career/direction in life in the artistic and the way your are exposing your self?
Cancerian moon too - ability to express emotions and also sextiling your 5th house cusp and trining 3rd house cusp.
Hope this helps
