Grandson noticed the little black cat on the fiber fill bag I had, so…

Used less than half a skein.

Head / Body:
Ch 6.
r 1: sc 2nd ch from hook, sc in ea of next 3 ch, 4sc last ch. Rotating clockwise, continue and work other side of the ch, 3sc, 3sc in the last stitch. (14)

Made 3” tail with i-cord maker because a crocheted tail with this yarn was too difficult, 6 sc around for so many rows.

Omitted one row from each paw and decreases to 9 st on the last row.

Made ears with 4 rows only.
