Catwoman has generally been portrayed as a heterosexual character, despite some speculation about a scene in The Dark Knight Rises. Indeed, the New 52 reboot of DC Comics launched her title with a sex scene between her and Batman, both (mostly) in their respective suits.

Of they could just never mention it again.
