I ran to my books to see if there was a full description of Minerva 
in cat form and came across the following:

"He turned to smile at the tabby, but it had gone.  Instead he was 
smiling at a rather severe-looking woman who was wearing square 
glasses exactly the shapeof the markings the cat had had around its 
eyes.  She, to, was wearing a cloak, an emerald one.  her black hair 
ws drawn into a tight bun.  She looked distinctly ruffled."

P/SS Chapter 1.

I don't imagine McGonagall is usually "scruffy-looking" either, but 
perhaps her fur was a bit scruffy looking after the day on Privet 
Drive.  

Just a thought.
