Fold the fabric in half, right side in, and lay flat on work table for the front and back of a stuffed cat. Lay the paper pattern on top of the fabric. Cut the fabric around the pattern with scissors.

Turn the fabric right side out. Fill firmly with polyester stuffing. If necessary, use the point of the scissors to push the stuffing in.
