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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

I had to choose between green and golden brown.

Again i pressed the loop together a bit

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

And pull the needle through the head

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

Time to let them try … bedtime for me :)

Now we work on some feet. Try to get 2 sheets, about the same size.

Roll them together with 1 fluffy side

Get an idea on how much you need to shorten it or not.

Then start needling them.
The lower side needs to be more flat, the top side i made more rounded.
Where it is under the “wheels” make it flat too

When they look like you want them, HAMMER them onto the tights :D

And again you need to secure it all with wool sheets.

When it all is neat and secure, we go on with the tail.

Take a sheet of wool, roll it up and secure it with a few punches

I worked it together a bit more while i was rolling it around and then i started to shape it.

Then attach it to the kitty’s rear

´

You might want to make the base a bit stronger and thicker, like i did, maybe you want the tail longer - i think i made it a bit to short.
