You may need to pull at the sides a bit to give it proper roundness.

TO FINISH KAT
Sew ears onto stuffed kat head top, where you began and then sew on tail onto the middle of the bottom end where you sewed the kat head shut. From here on you can be as creative as possible. You can cut out felt eyes that look like the cat above or any other number of faces. This pattern is just for the base pattern of the body, as soon as you’re done sewing you can make his face as crazy as you want it!

TO FINISH OWL
Sew on ears and eyes as instructed earlier. You may want to cut out a felt triangle that represents the beak of the owl between the eyes as shown in the finished picture above. As soon as you do this you should be done, feel free to be as crazy or tame as you want in creating the face! :D Good luck!
