I recently acquired a bunch of non-HOF'ers from Kaat's playing days and earlier, and in comparing my signatures to other examples I was surprised at how much variance there is among most players' signatures - the 'K' in 'Kaat' is all over the place, but obviously there wouldn't be anyone out there making a living off forged 'Kaat's. We question every single variance in our star HOF'er autographs, but some of it is probably just the players changing things up for reasons we'll never know.

Perhaps Kaat had a different signature for each of his 9 lives?
