To everyone saying AD on kat is more viable than AP, I made the maths. If you just compare a BD with a Rabadons, without looking at kat base stats, other items and whatever. Just her Lvl 5 (lvl 3 ult) skills and the impact of the items on her dmg: If you go AD, so Bloodthirster, the dmg will look like this (1. Base, 2. with 1BD, 3. with 6BD) Bouncing Blade --> 200 --> 280 --> 680 Shunpo --> 240 --> 240 --> 240 Death Lotus --> 80 --> 130 --> 380

If you go AP, so Rabadons, the dmg will look like this (1. Base, 2. with 1RD, 3. with 6RD) Bouncing Blade --> 200 --> 249 --> 583 Shunpo --> 240 --> 345 --> 1059 Death Lotus --> 80 --> 115 --> 353

So as you can see, the difference in BB and DL is not that huge, but Shunpo is so much more viable. The Gold factor is 3000 for BD and 3600 for RD. So from my point of view, AP has way more dmg output, as you usually not play Kat as an AA char - take an AD carry if you want to AA.
