    In Illustrator, you would need to mask the shape with a vector path or a B&W alpha.
    Try drawing a mask around the cat with the Pen Tool. Make sure to close the path. than select both the picture and the path (the path must be layered above the image) and select Object/Clipping Mask/Make.
    Than the 3D effect should work.
