Cropped source photo, edited out chair she'd rested her arms on. Expanded frame of the shot to give more width.

Cropped cat's whiskers, duplicated them a few times, edited and flipped them. Positioned them on the woman's back with a 'hard light' fliter. Experimented in placement quite a bit, adding here, deleting there.

Continued tweaking with placement for the whiskers. Tweaked 'hue and saturation' on each layer to get a similar bluish tone throughout. Also, as I went along, added dark spots at the base of some of the whiskers to mimic the same sort of effect on the cat's face.

Lastly, added some of the wall behind the cat as a texture 'overlayed' on her back and arm, to add to the 'unearthly feel', for the final picture.
