This pattern is so well-written and designed that anyone can make a realistic and awesome cat just by following instructions. They include positioning of body parts which allowed me to place limbs in just the right spot. The chest joins to the legs in a unique technique that creates a smooth and realistic front of the cat. The sitting cat's body shape is so accurately cat-shaped it just astounded me. I made the first one like my sister's first cat she had so many years ago. I plan to make remembrance cats for her of the four cats she's had. Thank you for the best patterns ever!
