Usually having the wider top and bottom gives the top a nicer framed look. Are you going to have to piece the top and bottom? If so, it would be advisable to piece it directly in the middle to continue your plan of having the seams follow the seams on the cats. This would tend to make them all blend into the quilt rather than stand out. Love the cats (my daughter has been asking for a cat throw). I think it has just enough 'wild' print to make it pop.

If you bring the top over the side borders it will add two more seams on the side borders. Those will also be in spots where you can ditch them like you are planning for the middle borders. I think that doing it that way will provide a bit of repetition of horizontal seams in the side borders that will help the placement of the central seam make more sense from a design perspective if it does show up after quilting.
