This DIY Felt Cat Plushie is the perfect gift for a cat lover in your life! With a free downloadable template, you can turn this into an ornament or charm.

Many people who have cats divide the world into two parts – cat people and the rest of the world! I think cats have a similar division for humans too!

There isn’t a person alive who hasn’t wasted at least a few minutes at work watching a funny cat video – the ones with babies are the cutest! Since kids love cats so much, they’ll have fun making a cute little pet for themselves – a felt cat plushie!

This felt project is basically simple, the only thing to look out for is that the template contains small pieces. Younger kids can take the help of Mom or Dad or an older sibling for handling the little pieces, so little kitty here becomes family pet!
