My first go with the "Amineko" (crocheted cat) pattern by Nekoyama... I think I overstuffed him a bit, and his limbs aren't as floppy as they seem like they should be. Seems the original Amineko was made with fingering weight yarn, mine was made with worsted (and I like the pattern it made across his belly).
Also, that colour scheme... what was I thinking? Brown/blue yarn with purple? Yuck. And I just couldn't win with his eyes - neither white nor black embroidery thread wanted to show up on that yarn.
It's an adorable and easy pattern though, and I'd like to try making the big Amineko in the future.

You can find the pattern for free on Nekoyama's site, but there's also an adorable book with a few other goodies for your Amineko.
