Step 4: From the bottom of the second ear draw the curved back line. It will curve downward. The neck line starts at the bottom of the mouth and curves down to become the front leg. The front line of the front leg is straight down to the paw. The back of the leg comes straight back up and curves slightly up back toward the head.

This is the top part of the leg and looks like a crooked "U". The back foot is leg is very long. It starts just below the end of the back line and goes flat along the bottom almost touching the front paw. Now add another front leg directly in front of the first front leg. Finish your cat with a long, thick tail. The two lines of the tail start from the bottom of the back line and the back line of the back foot. The tail is about half the length of the body.
