Unfortunately JComboBox has a public method named actionPerformed.
Jython apparently thinks you're trying to assign to that.

Alas, it seems you'll have to use self.catCombo.addActionListener()
just like an ordinary Java programmer.  (sigh)

Easy: when you create the ActionListener instance, assign an
attribute on it that refers to the JComboBox object.
