Fake cat fur - help!

Hi everyone, I'm working on a short film at the moment where a female character needs to slowly transform into a cat. This requires applying fake hair to her arms, legs and face as well as making her hands and feet resemble cat's paws. Just wondering if anyone knows any good tricks for applying fake hair (using spirit gum, maybe?) or has any suggestions on how I can make this look as real as possible. Thank you! - Claire
