Now I did the ears:
I made a shape out of paper first

Then i took small parts of fluff, and needled around the shape into the foam to be able to fold the edges.

166170

172173

After you worked them nice flat, tear them carefully off the foam
Then needle the back side, both sides should be nice and flat.

175176

178

Try to make them about the same size.
Do the same thing again with flesh or pink coloured wool if you don’t want to paint them and needle the 2 sheets together.

237

Put them aside for now, till we need them.

Now we make the front paws.

As usual, take a sheet of wool - this time i tried to needle right into the sheet to sculpt it, you might roll it up first like the tail. You should have a rough idea how the paws should be positioned.

I between have a look how it looks on the cat body, and needle on till it got the right size and shape

182181

When you decided how the paw should be placed, needle it onto the shoulder.
The gap will be again covered with little wool sheets.

183184

185186

When something is to skinny, just add little bits of wool, till it is like you like it.

The same now with the second paw

And here we have 2 paws :D

207208

Now is the last chance to decide what eyes you finally want to place

I had to choose between green and golden brown.

211212

Again i pressed the loop together a bit

210

I thought it will be green eyes. Pull the thread through the loops and make a knot into it
Thread it into long needles

214215

And pull the needle through the head

216217

I added a bit of glue behind the eyes, so they don’t turn.

Time to let them try … bedtime for me :)
