And by cheetah .... we're talking about the animal print, of course!

Bride-to-be Kim Kardashian, 30, took designer Vera Wang wedding dress shopping in New York while wearing a cheetah-print jumper. Way to show off those curves!

Sexy X Factor judge Nicole Scherzinger, who turns 33 Wednesday, also rocked the big-cat animal print with a flowing tiger print cover up by Elizabeth & James. The former Pussycat Dolls singer celebrated her birthday a little early at Marquee Dayclub at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.

So who's the hotter kitty? Kim, or the Pussycat Doll? Both look animal-tastic to us! See Nicole taking a big bite of her birthday cake ... after the jump.
