I would add slightly humorous nonce word котошапка. I believe it would be readily understood as cat-shaped hat, because they are far more common than hats for cats.
Зайцешапка, волкошапка and тигрошапка are, obviously, even less ambiguous.

... two different things: a "cat hat" (a hat one buys to put onto a cat), and a "cat-hat" (a hat that looks like a cat's head.)

Шапка-кошка is not an idiomatic way of putting it, but it could be if this particular style made fashion.
We do have words шапка-петушок, шапка-пирожок, галстук-бабочка, платье-торт etc. Those are metaphors and not literal descriptions, but the pattern is productive.
For now, шапка в виде кошачьей головы is probably the only non-ambiguous way of putting it.
