origami kitty

I had fully forgotten about these kitties! My sisters and I made them back in 2002 or 2003 for a not-for-profit charity that aimed to find loving responsible homes to rescued cats. They were made out of paper and felt scraps we had a home. It's really quite simple to assemble them, it's just take ages to fold up each individual triangle-shaped origami that makes them up.

They were sold on their online shop to raise funds and we even had a few orders from cat owners wanting an 'origato' (that's how we called them - 'ori' for 'origami' and 'gato' for 'cat' in Portuguese) that looked like their own cats.
