Not as absurdly fast as you may think. Ask a dagger rogue (if you can find one) with some haste gear what his attack speed is with slice & dice up.
Cat form has always been sort of an emulation of a dagger rogue. Adding an off paw attack with the usual dual wield damage/hit penalties would fit perfectly with this. Besides making it possible for ferals to use more of the +hit heavy rogue gear, it would give cats a bit better white damage scaling.
