Hi Scott, I didn't do much with drag/drop using scripty, but can't you just have one droppable (in your case it would be $('cats')) and find out which span was under the mouse when a drop occurs?
In the same spirit, instead of adding a "onmouseover" event on each .drag item, you may add one on your body (or on your two ULs if you prefer), and test if the event happened on one .drag element (something like "if(elt=event.findElement('.drag')) ..."). Last point: I don't know if it is possible, but did you try to create the draggable on the mousedown instead of the mouseover? It will save lots of work to the browser (It would require some tweaks, but I successfully used this technique with Ajax.InPlaceEditor).
