Well, I think the original idea was that you would periodically touch the wall to slow yourself, so you don't accelerate as you fall. Not really supernatural, just part of their training...

I don't see a problem here, this is mostly used to avoid the dangers of pit traps and scaling walls. It can't be dispelled, either...

Let me try this again.
1) Do cats need to be next to a wall to land on their feet?
2) Your feat forces a player to go leafing through the Monk class entry in order to use it. This is more time consuming than it ought to be. Granting Feather Fall as an SLA with a CL equal to the warlock's caster level is a much simpler way of handling it.
3) If you are flying and have your flight nullified, grabbed by a dragon and carried off only to be dropped into a chasm, trigger a very large pit trap, get caught in a sinkhole, and etc, you won't have a wall to reach out to.
4) To quote from the 3.5 Monk handbook, "Slow Fall: I’m sorry, what is the use of this ability again? There is a level 1 spell and a fairly cheap ring that makes this useless. And those can be used anywhere. "

Why does it mention a cat familiar? Warlocks only get familiars with a feat from the Complete Arcane. In addition, wizards and sorcerers who do have casts cannot take the feat. I think you should reword the feats to base the caster level on the character's level, not the warlock level. Make it a bit more generalized. Again, I'm using the Fey Heritage feats as the template.

Well, part of the point of the feat is to show a bond with Bast, the goddess of cats. Having a cat familiar let's the warlock show the necessary devotion required to get the fickle goddess's attention.

How about we expand the feats so any class can take them, and change the familiar requirement to a feline familiar or animal companion?
Also, granting three skills as class skills... might be a bit much for one feat. You don't find many feats that grant several useful SLAs and three skills. Keep in mind, a feat that grants skills as class skills can be quite powerful. I'd have Feline Affinity grant skills, and have another feat in the feat chain that grants the SLAs.

Hmm. If you wanted to create a version for clerics of Bast you could require a Cat Domain instead. A wizard/sorcerer version would change the Least Invocations requirement to casting arcane spells. The sorcerer and wizard can both get a familiar to channel the connection to Bast.
