I thought I would share the black cat I have been knitting lately for my office. I love cats and used to have four of them, now I have just one cat who is mischief and gets into as much a toddler.

About the project
I love cats and wanted to make a soft toy to go in my office, I'd had this pattern on my to knit list for quite a while. I think the animals look quite cute the cat is one of my favourites. I decided to knit the cat in similar colours to my cat Mischief. There is a few clothes and knitkinz home items that also go with the knitkinz animals. I'm knitting some clothes at the moment a yellow sweater and have knitted a pair of green pants. I decided to knit a yellow sweater as its the colour for endo and green cause I love to wear green. I'm unsure what home items to make, I want to make a mug and I might make the arm chair too. Here is a few project photos from what iv'e knitted so far:
