This
spooky kitty can actually slink
through a closed window --
making him the perfect Halloween
window decoration.
1. To
make the body, fill the cap,
socks and tights with stuffing,
leaving at least 2 1/2 inches of
unstuffed fabric at the opening
of each article. Twist the wires
together and insert them into
the tail (tube or kneesock).
Fold under any extra.
2. Cut
out 2 notched ears from the
black felt. Then cut 2 small
gray felt triangles and glue or
tape them to the middle of each
ear.
3. Cut
whiskers and 12 claws from the
gray felt and a triangular nose
from the orange felt. Using the
glue gun or double-sided tape,
affix the ears, googly eyes,
whiskers and nose to the top of
the cap.
4. Sew
the mouse toy to the cat's
mouth. Attach the claws to the
tips of the two shorter socks
and the tights.
5. To
assemble the cat, cut a strip of
duct tape 6 inches longer than
the width of the cap. Center the
tape over the opening of the cap
and, standing outside your
double-hung window, secure the
cap along the bottom edge of the
top window (see illustration).
6.
Next, tape the front paws along
each side of the head. Tape the
open end of the tail to the
opening of the tights, between
the legs. From inside the house,
tape the body to the top of the
lower window (see illustration).
Let the legs and tail flop down
over the tape. If you like,
wedge a rolled-up sock between
the legs and the tape to give
more arch to the cat's back.
