I do not mean meaning wise or if the symbolism is different I mean is the actual garment different as in fabric or structure wise.

Not really.
The skullcap worn by the Catholic clergy is called a zucchetto.
All Catholic clergy are entitled to wear the zucchetto.
+ The Pope's zucchetto is white
+ Cardinals are red
+ Bishops are purple
+ Priests and deacons are black
Some think that Zucchettos go back to when clerics shaved the center of their heads into a tonsure. Zucchettos would help keep thier heads warm.

Out of respect, a Catholic would wear a Jewish skull cap, kippah in Hebrew or yarmulke in Yiddish, when attending a Jewish religious service.
With love in Christ.

The pope wears a skull cap called a zucchetto, or pileolus.
It's essentially the same design as a yarmulke.

Jewish "Yarmulkes" are made in every manner I can think of to make a very small cap (there are leather ones, croched ones, carpet woven very decorated ones....etc.)
The Pope and Cardinals seem to wear only one or two kinds. From what I can tell from the TV, they seem to be fairly normal and probably similar to those you would find given out as souvenirs at many religious Jewish weddings.
