2. Simple Polymer Clay Cat

A classic cat design can be made using simple rounded shapes that stack together easily. Start with a round ball for the head and a slightly larger one for the body. Add a cone shape for the tail and twist it slightly to give personality. For ears, triangles of clay placed on top instantly make the cat recognizable.

You can create all kinds of cats including tabby, black, calico, gray or Siamese depending on the colors you choose. Add stripes or spots using thin rolled pieces of clay. A tiny oval nose and two small dots for eyes give the face a sweet expression.
