Words meaning

I've read an article about Cathy Engelbert in Time magazine. The following words puzzle me.

The first one is listed in Engelbet quick facts:

"Wildcat litter

Much of her family either attended or worked at Villanova University. (She went to Lehigh.)"

I wonder what litter means since wildcat does not refer to Lehigh.

The second one is:

"Her office in Manhattan’s 30 Rockefeller Center, a mere 33 floors and 17 personality types away from the Saturday Night Live set, is decorated in soft hues."

The "17 personality types away from the set" sounds pretty weird. What does that mean related to an office?

Thanks in advance.

anonymous I wonder what litter means since wildcat does not refer to Lehigh. The wildcat is the sports mascot of Villanove. "Litter" is a little joke.
