Pauline this is so sweet and thoughtful...good on you dear heart.
Great job. Here is a design that is very similar. It's from That's Sew Grammie. It's called Kitty Heart Applique. She has an In the Hoop one also.

Very cute, may we now see pictures of the baby kitties who owns this little toy. :)
Well done Polly, have you put a bell inside? Cats love noisy toys! Love Chris
