Check out the latest downloadable paper automata from my website! Download the project, print out the parts and make your own purring cat. The cat itself also makes for a really cute stand-alone project to sit on your desk.
The purring sound is generated via a partial toothed wheel, the teeth cover just short of two thirds of the circumference making an intermittent purring sound, just like a real cat! *
The project comes as a downloadable PDF, with all the parts ready to print front and back onto thin card. After the parts, you’ll find a fully illustrated set of step‑by‑step instructions to guide you through the construction.

I hope you enjoy making this latest model, it’s a lovely little project that I’m really happy to share with you. Thanks so much for reading, and I hope the week ahead treats you kindly.
