ORIGAMI CAT
This is a tutorial for folding an origami cat which I
used in many of my videos.
A printable Origami cat paper is available
here

Step 1:
The
backside of this paper is completely white. Turn the paper.



Step 6:
Prefold
over these 2 lines.
Step 5:
The
width of the model is 1/3 of the original paper in step 1. Prefold
the model over these 2 lines.
Step 2:
Prefold
over this line.
Step 4:
The 2
pieces next to each yellow line are of equal width. Make a
valley-fold over this line.

Step 3:
Make
a valley-fold over this line.

Step 10:
Make
an inside reverse fold over these 3 lines (=mountain-fold over the
very short line in the middle and a valley-fold over the 2 longer
lines) Make the same folds on the edge indicated by the arrow.


Step 8:
The
places indicated by the 2 arrows are on the same place as the 2
arrows in step 7. Prefold over these 2 lines.
Step 9:
Make
an inside reverse fold over the 3 pink lines (=mountain-fold over
the short line in the middle and valley-fold over the 2 longer
lines). The edge indicated by the small arrow below is folded to the
folding line indicated by the upper smaller arrow. Make the same
folds as above at the place indicated by the large arrow.
Step 7:
The
places indicated by the 2 arrows are one the same place as the ends
of the folding lines in step 6. Prefold over these 2 lines.

Step 16:
Make
a mountain-fold over this line.
Step 15:
Make
a valley-fold over these 2 lines.
Step 12:
Make
a mountain-fold over this line.
Step 11:
Make
a valley-fold over these 2 lines.
Step 14:
Make
an inside reverse fold over these 3 lines. (These lines lay on the
edge which you've made in step 13)



Step 13:
Make
an inside reverse fold over these 3 lines.


Step 21:
Fold
the edge on the right of the pink line to the left by making a
valley-fold over this pink line. Make the same fold on the other
side of the body.
Step 19:
The
back of the model looks like this now.
Step 20:
Hold
the model the same as I do. Then, pull the tail to the right, see
arrow.
Step 18:
Make
an inside reverse fold over these 3 lines.
Step 17:
Make
an inside reverse fold over these 3 lines.



Step 22:
Now
the model looks like this.
Step 28:
Make
a valley-fold over these 2 lines. Now you've made one ear. Make the
same folds on the other side of the head.
Step 25:
Hold
the model the same as I do. Then press the head of the cat flat with
your other hand, see arrow.
Step 26:
Make
the pink folding line sharper by pressing the places indicated by
the arrows against each other. Do the same on the other side of the
head.
Step 24:
Push
the pieces indicated by the arrows against each other, in the
direction of these arrows. No new folding line has to be made to do
this.
Step 23:
Fold
the piece below the pink line upwards by making a valley-fold over
this line. Make the same fold on the other piece indicated by the
arrow.



Step 29:
And
the model looks like this from aside.
Step 27:
Now
the model looks like this from above.

Step 30:
Press
the edge indicated by the arrow inwards by making an inside reverse
fold over these 3 lines. Do the same on the other side of the model.
Step 31:
First
press the edge indicated by the arrow inwards. Then, make a
mountain-fold over the short pink line.
Step 32:
Hold
the model the same as I do. Then, press the head a little to the
left with your other hand, see arrow. This is to make the
cat's neck a little shorter.

Step 33:
Press
the edge indicated by the arrows inwards by making an inside
reverse fold over the 3 pink lines. Do the same on the other side of
the model.
Step 35:
Press
the leg flat between two fingers, see arrows, by making a
mountain-fold over the pink line. Do the same on the 3 other legs.

Step 34:
Curl
the tail: Upwards on the place indicated by the arrow below and
downwards on the place indicated by the upper arrow.



Done!
