I finally got around to finishing the kitty. He didn't turn out exactly as I had expected, but I think he's pretty cute in a lopsided, sort of smirky way. For some reason the pattern did not give the kitty a tail, so I made a plain white tube the same diameter as the arms and attached it to the center back. The tail works out well: with it, kitty can sit up unassisted. My kitty is rounder than the original pattern, has larger eyes (they were all I could find in the local craft shop), and seems to be a little more mischevious (although that could just be my imagination).
