Make 6 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring.

Round 2:

Increase (inc) in each stitch around (12 stitches).

For Round 3:

1 sc, 1 inc repeat around (18 stitches).

Round 16:

2 sc, 1 dec repeat around (18 stitches).

For Round 17:

1 sc, 1 dec repeat around; start stuffing the body (12 stitches).

Round 18:

6 decreases; finish stuffing; fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing. Sew the hole closed.

Making the Ears (Make 2):

Create a slip knot, then chain 2.

Skip the first chain from the hook, 1 sc in the second chain.
Make 3 double crochets (dc) in the same chain.
Complete with 1 sc in the same chain, then a slip stitch (sl st) to finish. Leave a long tail for sewing.

Sewing and Assembling:

Sew the ears onto the body at desired positions, usually starting around Rounds 5 or 6.

Attach safety eyes between Rounds 1 and 2, with approximately 6 stitches between them. Alternatively, embroider the eyes with yarn.
Embroider a nose and mouth if desired.
If making a keychain, attach the keychain ring or strap to the top of the cat's back.

Tail (Optional):

Make a slip knot, attached to the back of the cat, chain 10 (or desired length).

Create a series of half-double crochets (hdc) back down the chain for tail thickness, fasten off.
Sew the tail to the body.

Color Changes (For a Multi-Colored Cat):

If creating a cat with different colors (e.g., for ears or tail), change colors as described in the pattern where applicable, typically by completing the last yarn over of a stitch with the new color.

Completion:

Weave in all loose ends. Add any additional embellishments or features as desired.
