"that came off kind of catty" I heard it on a movie and I really don't understand the meaning

Since the sentence is out of context, I'll break it up into parts:
1. "to come off" means to "to happen, to occur";
2. "kind of" = "rather"
3. "catty" (adj.) = "malicious", "spiteful"
It seems that someone (X) has made a comment on what someone else (Y) has said:
X: "That (= what Y has just said) sounds a little bit 'malicious' to me (= the speaker)".

Means, the person they're referring to said something a little mean or nasty. Reference is to a cat that scratches, hence 'katty'.
