special notes:
- This pattern is written in US terminology, using continuous rounds unless otherwise noted. I recommend using a stitch marker to mark the first stitch of each round.
- When making the body of the kitty, the bobble stitches will be done in white. These color changes will be bolded and in [brackets].
- Due to variations in tension and yarn. weights, you may need to adjust where you place your bobble stitches in Rnds 11 and 20. In Rnd 11, the bobble stitches should line up with the bobble stitches in Rnd 5. In Rnd 20, the bobble stitches should be centered between the bobble stitches in Rnd 11.
