I confess, I didn't like her character at all in the books. I think I value intelligence more than many other traits and her (and Robb's) mistakes really bothered me. Like in Tyrion's case - it is a no-brainer that someone will not give their own (very distinctive) dagger to a hired killer. IF she just went home from King's Landing (or stayed and made Ned come back)!
But I have changed my mind completely in the show, Michelle Fairley shows really well where Cat's decisions come from, shows her love for her kids and Ned. She is so awesome I keep thinking "Why would someone hate her? Why?"
