Tuxedo cats needlepoint patterns

A tuxedo cat sitting upright, facing front, with a pale bib and pale paws against a dark coat; two wear a red bow tie.

The folk art cat is the same on the left and the right, so you can count one half and repeat it in reverse; the other two only nearly match, so count each side. The bib is on the chest below the chin and muzzle, and the whisker pads are pale too. The cat is drawn in several styles. All are four inches square on 18 mesh, and most can be made round; most are marked beginner. Dark and pale meet in clean edges, so count each patch.
