Add this result to all marks.
Count your book number of sheets, subtract the pattern number of sheets and divide the result by 2.
The result tells you on which sheet you should start your folding.
I am interested in trying these
Thank you for the patern. I’m gonna try to make the cat. Greetings from the Netherlands
Hi how do you mark the first page at the top that’s 4,65?
Did you take a look at the FAQ at the end of the post?
It gives tips to adapt the design to your book size and a link to the instructions page
Hello. Is there a copy of the pattern in mm instead of cm ? I dont know how to read in cm. I would so greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much.
Centimeters and millimeters are almost the same: shift the point one digit to the right

I have looking for a beautiful cat pattern to do for my mum,thanks for sharing x
Lovely Cat. Thank you so much for sharing
Thank you for the cat design – my 2nd effort turned out good.
When folding the pages of the cat I have found that it is very difficult to do the folds that are very near the bottom/top edge of the page, have you any suggestions regarding this, thanks
I know that there are many comments on this post, but I already answer not long ago
Take a look at Fran’s comments (3 may 2015) and Jacqueline’s one (17 march 2015).
Thank you very much for letting me use your cat pattern,I havn’t done any bookfolding before and I love cats
Merci bcp pour le chat, c’est mignon. Je vais l’éssayer. Je suis anglophone
Your French is very good but you can read my website in (my bad) English by clicking on the Union Jack in the right sidebar
This is great! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing patterns with us.
Beautiful work! The cat will be my first attempt….thank you so much for sharing!!
Thank you for the book folding pattern, I have always wanted to try this art and I adore cats so that’s why I thought it a good place to start.
Please can you help me, I have started the cat and I am finding that the top small folds are showing and can be seen from the previous worked pages is there a solution for this? Thank you
Can you tell me :
– what is your book height in cm?
– are you talking about the ear area?
Thank you for your reply. My book is 21cm
The ears were a problem and also the bottom which has a turning of 19.65 which takes it very close to the edge. Nevertheless I have continued and it looks ok but not as clean cut as in the photograph, but I am enjoying doing it, maybe you have some tips?
Sonia has made a big size shape on her book. I admit it’s not easy to make a fold as close to the edge.
For few sheets like the ear, I don’t fold as far as the vanishing point. Send me a pic of your cat, I will publish it in the “visitor album”
Hi there,
I have made the cat again and it is much improved.
I noticed that whilst my book is 21 cm the pages are only 20cm which probably added to the difficulties. I shall send a pic soon, 2nd attempt is much more recognisable. so when complete I shall send you a picture.
Thank you so much for your help
You are welcome
thank you for sharing your pattern

This is so lovely can’t wait to get started many thanks
Thank you so much for sharing. Such a lovely design.
Thank you so much ! Can’t wait to start !!!
Hi
I had started to fold your cat pattern but was wondering how to fold the lower marks when they are 19.35′ 19.75 etc when the book is only 20cm tall. Seems impossible.
Hope you have an explanation that will help me , Thankyou.
I didn’t fold that book. Do you use a pin to mark the paper before folding? It can be very useful for small folds.
As it’s at the bottom of the cat, you can also decrease the vanishing point.
Hope this will help you…
It’s a great work
I wanted to make something similar for my mom do you do any other free paterns of cats please as it will nothe be sold it will stay in the house hold it is made in
It’s the only cat folded book pattern. You can find all the patterns by clicking on the “Folded book” Tag (right column).
Many thanks for sharing your pattern
Så söt. Tack för att jag fått ta del av mönstret. =)
(So cute. Thank you for inviting me to take part of the pattern)
just made this for a fellow kitty lover its fab
Im a great catlover and cant wait to try this. Thank you so much for sharing it x
Such a sweet kitty file ,thanks for sharing.
thanks for sharing.
I think there is an error on Line 131. the Upper mark shows it is below the lower mark.
That’s true!
As I didn’t fold this pattern, can you tell me if marks are reversed but correct?
Now that I have finished the folds, it looks like maybe a simple typo. The upper fold on line 131 looks like it should be 3,9 rather than 13,9.
It is very difficult to see the folds in the photo to see if it matches.
I also refolded line 130 at 8,0 and 8,65 to end the tail better.
Mine came out great! I folded the cat using a copy of “Chicken Soup for the Cat Lover’s Soul.”
I finally found where was the error : it’s mine
The marks error was detected and I changed the PDF for the french post… but not for the english one.
Now it’s done, the pattern is correct!
I have a mountain of books from my father and these patterns are perfect to use them for something beautiful and get back to making gifts instead of buying all the time
Hi!
I found your website via another site where you wrote that all of your patterns were free to use. Is that correct?
Can I post my books that use your pattern on my instagram papercraftideas. Of course I will link to you.
Best, (Sweden)
I share the patterns on my website for free. But you are not allowed to publish and sell them or sell books made with those patterns.
Of course you can post books photo on your instagram, and a link to my website would be very much appreciated…
Will I have to tear the pages of the book in order to get some of the correct folds?
Why do you want to tear of some sheets?
If you have more sheets than the pattern you have to read the F.A.Q. at the end of the post (“How do I adapt the pattern to my book”).
The sheets are folded but the book should stay intact…
Is it okey that I fold a cat?
Of course it’s okay, it’s the aim of this share
But it’s only for a personal use!
Hello

Is there a book on folded page art? With patterns?
I don’t know. I’ve made the tuto on my own and I didn’t write a book…
I just downloaded the pattern for the cat (thankyou sooooo much for sharing)
I have a question though, the book I am using has 23cm sheets, so to have the cat sat at the bottom, do I add 4cm to the upper mark measurement ? and to have it dead centre, 2cm to the upper mark and leave the lower mark as it is?
This is the first time I am attempting to follow a pattern, I have previously done a heart but did that by drawing the shape on the book end and following the pencil marks.
Thankyou in anticipation
Did you read the F.A.Q. ?
To center the cat : add 2cm to all marks.
The cat sat at the bottom : add 4 cm to all marks.
If you forgot to change the lower marks, your cat will be “crashed”.
Morning,
No I didn’t read them sorry, I will check there though next time before asking any questions
Thankyou for your help
Thank you for sharing your cat pattern.
I can’t wait to start folding.
