Recommended Paper
For the best results, use:
- 15 × 7.5 cm or 20 × 10 cm rectangular paper
- Thin origami or kami paper
- Paper that holds sharp creases
- Solid colors that emphasize the cat silhouette
Larger paper is recommended for the first attempt because the layers around the ears and tail are easier to handle.
Folding Tips
- Align the edges carefully during the initial pre-creases.
- Keep the central folds symmetrical to obtain an even head and body.
- Press the folds around the ears firmly to preserve their pointed shape.
- Adjust the final tail folds gently so the model can stand properly.
- Use different paper sizes to create a family of sitting origami cats.
