Small orange cat with big eyes in 3D origami: a bundle of mischief to bring to life

This 3D papercraft model turns assembly into a true moment of relaxation, almost meditative.
Each fold and each glued piece gradually gives this playful feline its character. The volume takes shape, expressions appear, and suddenly… the cat is there. An ideal decorative companion to personalize a desk or living room, or to offer as a truly original handmade gift.

Sheet layout and colors
The model is built from 23 sheets divided into several shades for a realistic, nuanced finish: 16 orange pages for the body, 3 black pages for details, 1 light brown page, 1 light yellow page, and 2 white pages dedicated to the eyes. This palette gives the cat its unique personality and enhances its instantly recognizable expression.
An accessible and rewarding build
The assembly progresses smoothly, piece by piece, following a clear logic that lets you move forward with confidence. The difficulty level is rated medium: challenging enough to stay engaging, without ever becoming discouraging. You take your time, watch the shape evolve… and the pleasure comes naturally.
