The camera is on a tripod, locked in place. The person walks through the shot holding the cat. There is another shot of equal length with no cat or person. The person is erased from the first shot. (this would be even simpler if they were wearing a "Chroma-key" color.) Then the two shots are superimposed. Where there would be blank space from the erased person you have the other shot to fill the space.
I do this all day long with still images. The chroma-key colors help to automate the selection and erase process, other wise it is time consuming.
Take a look at this:

The green is chroma-key green.
