While stuffing the cat I added a small bag of pebbles/ beans/ beads to
add weight so it could sit properly without being knocked down to easily.

The face
I recommend that you finish the face of the cat before you sew it up.
For the eyes I used buttons but you can use felt, paint or needle felt a
design. I then used thin cotton and embroidered whiskers just below the eyes. I
used red and embroidered a nose in between the eyes.
Sew on black stripe as on the photo and sew ears either side of the
head.
Assembly
1. Sew the head to the body so it looks a bit like a skittle.
2. Sew on bib to the front of the cat
3. Attach collar and join to the back of the neck
4. Sew on name tag on the front of the cat as in photo
5. Sew on medal at a slight angle so it leans towards the right paw
6. Sew on left arm so the paw is in the air like it’s about to give you
a high five.
7. Attach right arm shoulder to the body then sew the paw on the medal.
8. Sew feet to either side of the medal
9. Sew on tail to the back.
