Cats are attractive animals, no matter their size or material.

@Rickstef Sorry, but I cannot upload the diagrams of the cat here.
I am the creator of the model but the diagrams were drawn by a guy called Vicente Palacios. With my permission, he included them in a book he published. The book contains diagrams for 91 models, 6 of them created by me. He drew all the diagrams but almost all of models were created by people all around the world and were included in the book with permission from their respective authors.
The book is:

Papiroflexia colección, by Vicente Palacios. Editorial Salvatella, Barcelona, 2002.

The diagrams of the cat were published too in the magazines of the Origami Associations of several countries.
Brief, I don't have permission to publish the diagrams on the internet but I have however permission to send the diagrams to whoever I want.
So, if somebody is interested on them and promise to not distribute them, he or she can send me a private message with his/her email and I will send them to him/her.

EDIT:
The diagrams are only 2 pages and 21 steps, but it is a difficult model, only for advanced folders. To fold the head right is specially difficult.
If somebody wants to fold it and have problems, I have pictures of most of intermediate steps, and I have too a lot of pictures of the finished cat taken from many angles. I took the pics for a different project, but hey, if somebody wants to turn it into a paper model the pics can be useful :p

Japan’s Cat Café Train

What It’s Like to Ride Japan’s Cat Café Train

Transportation and rescue kittens—what could be better?

by Cara Giaimo September 11, 2017

Quote:
"The cat train was a collaboration between a local NGO, called Kitten Cafe Sanctuary, and the train’s owner, Yoro Railway Co Ltd. The NGO hoped to promote stray cat adoption, while the transportation company aimed to jumpstart tourism to Ōgaki and the destination city, Ikeno.

To this end, the ride offered other amenities—free food; views of mountains and meadows; a bathroom break halfway through.

All were ignored. “Not a single person ended up having snacks during the ride,” says Adler. “Nobody got off the train [at the break]… no one bothered to look out the window, because the cats were just so cute.”

The cat train was so successful, in fact, that its mission was somewhat undercut. “I don’t think the cats even knew they were on a train,” says Adler. “And frankly, neither did we.”"

TBT - I came across this old photo the other day.
This is Fluffy, he was our third family cat. Despite being an indoor only cat, he was quite large and all muscle. This is from 30+ years ago. Photo of a photo.

Hi John M, LOVE the cat texting sign !!!
And for SWF,,, Jagolden,,, Gotham,,, and Paperschnitzel,,,
Love all the pictures and comments.
And for twapehs,,, I have told prople that saying for years. And I
agree,,, It is so true too.

For all of you,,,
Here are some more pictures of our two kitties
Brumby and Callie looking at our roaming kitties that we feed
every day here at roamers restaurant.
Kitty and Ebony are usually here every day.
And they all look at each other through the back door.
And we also plan to put up a kitty warming house for Ebony
for this winter to see if he will stay in it.
This is our first try at this.
Hope you enjoy the pictures.
Best Regards,
Gary

PS,,, By the way,,,
We worked with animal control here in our town to live trap both
Kitty and Ebony this past month and they took them to a Vet and got them
Neutered, and had their shots that they usually give to them.
Also,,, I talked them into giving them an additional Feline Leukemia
shot that they don't normally give to roaming kitties. ( YAY )
So both Kitty and Ebony have been taken care of so far.
