This is a good assumption (IMO) and very in keeping with Pettigrew's
character.  I was also thinking that animagi kept their robes and other
things on their outer bodies which is incorporated into fur and markings.

After all, in PS/SS on page 9 it says that Dumbledore turns to smile at a
tabby, which had turned into "a rather severe-looking woman who was wearing
square glasses exactly the shape of the markings the cat had around its
eyes."

However, it also says McGonagall was wearing emerald robes and the cat was
not green, but that can be a simple change of color from green to a
tabby-look.
