I stumbled upon some bits of information from interviews with director Yamamoto Yuusuke and Amata's seiyuu Kaji Yuuki in some magazine (FREECELL):
Spoiler for Vague spoilers for the few upcoming episodes:
Spoiler for Original Japanese:
山本監督
・「ネコ」には意味がある
・誰が誰の生まれ変わりかは匂わす程度とかじゃなくはっきり分かるようになる
・789話は「青春学園編」で楽しくかつあさっての方向な話
・それ以降はシリアスになって行き、中盤はかなりショッキングな展開もある
・マリー脚本はかなり過激で度々直してもらってる
(3話の頭突きは当初、前からだったらしいw)
梶(こっちは時間なくてちゃんと読んでないスマン)
・マリー曰く「ミコノは悪い女」
・ゼシカは今収録中の話でどんどん気持ちが動いていってる
梶はミコノは男に好かれて女に嫌われるタイプ
頑張り屋さんで応援したくなるとも言ってたような(うろ覚え)
まあ、天然悪女だろうね
梶の話し方を見るに今後ゼシカターンは来るっぽい
あと書き方悪かったけど「ネコ」の意味はそんなに重い物ではなさげだった
ネコ好きにはたまらないとか書いてたような

Approximate translation that someone might want to double check:
Yamamoto:
- There's a meaning to the "cats".
- "Who's whose reincarnation" will eventually become much clearer, rather than just suggested.
- Episodes 7~9 will be fun, school-life episodes. From there on out, the story will take a more serious turn and by the half mark, a shocking development will unfold.
- Okada Mari's script is often so extreme that he ends up having to change it. (For instance, Amata sticking his head up Mikono's skirt in episode 3 was originally meant to be done into Mikono's crotch....???)
Kaji:
- According to Okada Mari, Mikono is an evil girl. (???)
- Zessica's feelings will keep evolving from now on.
- From the way he talks in the interview, it sounds like Zessica's "turn" should be coming soon.
Man, that's Okada for you wwwww
