knitted cat toy

I used Fuzzy Mitten's siamese cat pattern, with minor modifications--I did the ears differently than directed, and modified the face shape very slightly.

I used a great alpaca/wool/silk blend for the body: nice and firm, but soft. The darkest brown yarn matches Amelia's baby blanket

the way I attached the head, kitty wants to look up. It's endearing from certain angles.

I put jingle bells in the body, so I can shake it in front of Amelia--she seems to like it.
