meet doris, sadie’s identical twin
Some of you may remember Sam the Wondercat that I made for Annie almost exactly one year ago. Sam was actually intended for Mimi, but she immediately gave up custody to Annie and requested a white cat. The book that I used for the kitty patterns had a black w/white kitty and all white kitty, but I decided early on that I would just do the opposite as Sam and make a white kitty with black paws, ears, and cheeks. The pressure has been on me ever since to finish said white kitty. I decided that this past road trip to Minnesota would give me the opportunity to work on this kitty that only had a head and half a body at that point. When I first started the kitty Mimi and I discussed names for her. Mimi drew a blank, so I suggested names such as Betty, Birtha, Gertrude, Nancy, Barbara. None of those pleased Mimi until I randomly spit out the name Doris. That was it! Doris is was to be, if Doris ever came to be. I finally completed Doris yesterday, and now I present her to you.
As you can see, she’s already made quite a home for herself around here.
Mimi was smitten from first sight.
Annie is just glad that she’s now able to get Sadie out of Mimi’s constant grip.
I’ll bet it’s difficult to tell which cat is the real cat.
