Item Build
Starting Items
you start with 475g
Classic back then - BoS with 4 Health Potion.
Her basic MS is 345.
With the boots, it goes up to 370.
best choice for roaming and return after Recall.
Starting Items (vs AD)
you start with 475g
Recommended start against AD match-ups: Cloth Armor + 5 Health Potions.
best option to survive early physical damage.
Core Build
Rush Deathfire Grasp or Hextech Gunblade as your 1st item.
If you get heavily fed in the early game, definitely prioritize DFG.
Situational Option:
Abyssal Scepter for 1st item against AP nukers like 
Kassadin, 
Master Yi, 
Gragas, 
Veigar.
Recommend Hextech Gunblade if the enemy team is drafting immobile comps. The active slow makes it incredibly easy to chase them down.
Early Game Build (vs AD)
Seeker's Armguard gives 45 Armor and 35 AP at max 30 stacks.
It is completely OP against AD match-ups. Make sure to rush this component before your 1st core item—it's a must-buy.

Introduction
21 / 9 / 0 classic pure AP nuking Kat.
CDR is not that important for her because of 
Voracity (P).
Summoner's Wrath Rank 1 for Ignite bonus 5 AD/AP when it's CD.
Use Resistance Rank 3 instead of Hardiness against AP champions.
There's no need to use anything other than Ignite and Flash.
Can use 9 MR Glyph for APs instead of 4 AP / 5 MR.
Basic combo in laning phase :
Bouncing Blade (Q) - Shunpo (E) - Sinister Steel (W)
using W in the end of this combo, can get 15 - 35% MS for 1 sec. (Based on skill level)
One shot burst combo after lvl 6 :
Shunpo (E) - Sinister Steel (W) - Bouncing Blade (Q) - Death Lotus (R) or
Bouncing Blade (Q) - Shunpo (E) - Sinister Steel (W) - Death Lotus (R).

If you haven't already I would recommend trying Doran's Shield + dipping enough into defense to get unyielding + block. Should improve Kat's laning by an extreme amount.
