Avocato the cat

Avocato the cat! Once upon a time lived a little girl who was very lonely and had no friend to talk, have fun and play with. One day her mom made a breakfast and half of avocado with a seed fell on the floor. The girl took it in to her hands, and something very strange happened! Something inside her palms tickled her, the girl in awe dropped the avocado on the floor, but something very magical happened. The avocado turned into a vegetable and animal at the same time. It grew tail, tiny hands and cute whiskers! Even more, the cat introduced himslef and said that his name is Avocato, and he is here, to fulfill a dream of this little girl and become friends with her.

Meet Avocato - a mischievous little cat hiding inside an avocado. This quirky amigurumi combines two internet favorites into one irresistible stuffed toy that's guaranteed to make people smile.

Avocato sits about palm-sized when finished, with a soft green avocado body, a brown seed belly, tiny paws poking out, and the cutest cat face complete with whiskers and perky ears. The whole thing looks like someone caught a kitten mid-snack and he just decided to stay there. This little guy makes an unexpectedly perfect gift. Cat people love him. Avocado enthusiasts love him. Anyone who appreciates weird-cute things will want to squeeze him immediately. He's great for birthdays, desk buddies, or that friend who has everything except a cat-vegetable hybrid. The design uses simple color blocking to create the avocado shape, with the cat features added on top. At about 7 hours of work, he's a satisfying weekend project that won't drag on forever. The intermediate rating comes from shaping the rounded body and attaching small parts neatly, but nothing here will stump you if you've made a few amigurumi before.
