Make a CatRack

I recently found an old pattern for a cat hanging on a hat or coat rack. I thought it would be fun to make a few of them and use different kind of cats as subjects. You can put your cat on it if you have a picture to go by, or are good enough artist to draw and paint your cat onto the pattern. At any rate, I have written this instructable to enable you to make your own if you so choose.

Step 1 Materials and tools

Corrugated cardboard (or wood of your choice...can be plywood, solid pine, etc.)
Pine board, 2 3/4 x 11in.
Acrylic paints (colors of your choosing.)
Bandsaw
Paper for pattern(s)

Great instructable, and SUCH a cute kitty. One question--could one adapt it to accept marbles (say, catseyes) for eyes? I really want to try this one.

I like your paintings. I can't paint that good. I would heave to fix the pattern,. my cat's really fat. =D It will be a chubby coat rack. How would we use a picture of our cat? o_0

Take the picture, make a life-sized print of the head, cut that out and mount it to your piece of cardboard. then paint the rest of the body to match. Piece of cake! Cman.
