find a male and female cat. then leave them alone together with some romantic music....

You've dont the giraffe tutorial, right? Substitute a good cat rotoscope and that would be a starting point. They're both quarupeds so there will be many similarities in the splining.

ok, but i have been looking everywhere, and i can't find an image viewing the left/right side of a standing cat on all 4's, does anyone know where i can find such an image?

It is not an average cat but a siamasic one, but there are some images that could help on this page:

There are a few options but some of them require you to invest some money.

I don't know if you can draw but your best bet is to get some cat pictures to use as references and sketch out a front, side picture yourself.

If you can't draw, then ask a person who does know how to draw to make a rotoscope. Depending on who you ask though, it may cost you.

Look around for a good cat sculpture. stand far back and zoom in and take a front and side view to use as a rotoscope (you zoom in to limit perspective).

Go to a friends house who owns a cat or find a cat and do the same as above. You'll have better results with a lazy cat.

I hope this helps,
George

A very late reply.... I saw this thread and thought of B. Kliban's "How to draw a cat". Draw three circles with the bottom being the biggest, middle next, and top the smallest. Turn it around and there is your cat.

Wish I could find it on the net... It is brilliant.
