I knitted this tiny black cat for a relative who had recently lost their feline companion. It is just 5cm (2 inches) high. The pattern I used is called Lucky Cats by Frankie Brown, and you can find it for free on Ravelry: ravelry.com/patterns/library/lucky-cats
The instructions include several different sizes. The one I made was the smallest, but the largest is only 9cm tall. Black cats are of course particularly seen as witch's companions.
I'm sharing this now because the first full week in May is National Pet Week in America, and I know many of my blog's readers are in the USA. I'm based in the UK, but I I'm happy to celebrate it here too. The event highlights the relationship and the circle of life between humans and pets, by encouraging people to share pictures and stories about our pets, but also serves as a reminder to do things like check with the vet and confirm any care or treatments are up to date.
