I'm pretty sure Hermione meant human to human transformations.  The 
hair she plucked off of Millicent's robes was cat hair, so that was 
the non-human.  

Maybe the whole point of the polyjuice scene was to show that 
Hermione is human, and does make mistakes.  It also shows what 
happens when you *assume* too much.
