About this pattern

A black cat with a white bib and two white front paws, sitting upright and facing forward, drawn in flat shapes with no outline: a round-topped body, an oval head and two tall pointed ears. It has two round gold ring eyes, a small coral nose and coral inner ears. A thin gray line along the floor and up past the right hip marks its tail, wrapped round in front of its feet. Full crosses only. It is 33 by 49 stitches and uses five thread colors.

33 stitches wide by 49 high: 1,005 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Black 310, Winter White 3865, Medium Topaz 783 and 2 more).
