That is fine. They are both good. Some people even do "CAT" with a "G" hand that closes. (Which I don't recommend, but it is a legit version of "CAT.") KETCHUP: CAT-UP variation 2: You might also see the "up" concept signed by poiting upward or by moving an "A" handshape upward (the thumb pointing up).
