Thanks everyone for your comments.
I have made them for family who are all cat people, so hope they will be well accepted.
Have worked on them on and off all week, so lots of time involved. They are weighted as a doorstop, not just a cuddly.

The pattern is McCall Cynthia Rose M5259

In that case I'd love it. I must have missed the bit where you said they were weighted.

I would like it. Especially if someone I knew had made it. That just makes it even nicer!!

Edit: Did you get the pattern from ebay? Its the only place I can see it being sold.....my MIL would love this! Was it really difficult to make and to find all the supplies you need? x

Whilst trying to find them I came across these - how cute are they!!!

I bought the pattern from someone on a forum - can't see any in the UK at the moment unfortunately.
I used cat litter and wadding to fill. You can make the nose from black material, or a black bead, and you will need black embroidery thread for the eyes, and sisal for whiskers. Apart from that, its just material that contrasts.

I found the first one very fiddly and had to read the pattern and instructions several times as you slash one side of each piece (apart from the tail) to allow stuffing, then sew them up.
The pattern also tells you to glue the legs, muzzle and tail on, but I sewed them, so learnt as I went along.

If lots of people want the pattern, I may see if I can put some instructions together?

Cuddles I love receiving home crafted items. I think using it as a door stop is a brill idea.

Pootleflump how lovely are those. I like the chicken. (stop posting clickies......my brain is
full up as it is!!!)

Yes please cuddles. I'm sure instructions would be appreciated by lots of us!
