Miyamoto discusses 2 DS games, and more on that intriguing cat exchange that may very well be game-related
GoNintendo — ... option thanks to Dragon Quest IX’s public exchange mode - Miyamoto’s official statement on cats: “Also, I’ve recently been caring for cats. That is all.” to which Iwata replied: “He just gave a big hint.” Is that an actual game hint? That we don’t know, as text doesn’t really convey the difference between a joke and a fact. I’m thinking more along the lines of a joke, but you never know! Link

Will Miyamoto's upcoming cat game be too little too late?
Fidgit Atom Feed — ... Iwata joked (?) that's a hint as to their next game. If they are indeed working on a cat game (ha ha!), Nintendo has their work cut out for them. The above video is footage of what must be the ultimate cat game. You do foolish things while your cat looks on and silently judges you. I can think of no more accurate cat simulator than that. Also, I don't read Japanese, but I'm pretty sure the words "Toonces, no!" appear during the driving segments. (Thanks 1up, Andriasang, and Mr. Rex DX.)
