I wasn't trying to make a cat. I was trying to design something quite different from a cat, in fact. But it continued to look like a cat despite my best efforts, so I decided to give it a new head and let it be a cat.

This made me laugh so much, trying to work out what it was really meant to be - was it going to be a banana? - very cute, thank you for the pattern.
