Cat plush draft V2: a stretched out and floppy girl. Not the end design but hey! It's progress!

This is my submission for #AutismAcceptanceMonth's #AutisticCreativeFestival's #InfiniTints prompts Unmasking Magenta AND AuTism Gold. 1/3
A crocheted cat plushy stretched out with the back legs off to the side and the tail curled around the front. The front legs are stretched out forward. The eyes are buttons. The ears are a bit on the small side. The body is made of splotches of magenta and bright yellow yarn, the latter slightly but visibly thicker than the former.
The plushy is at another angle, showing the front and the head tilted down.

What does unmasking feel like to me? It feels like falling into all of those classic cat-like stims I internalized from the only creatures I understood as a child. Stretching, meowing, purring, sunlight naps.

Cats are, after all, very autistic animals.

It's also a followup to our #AutisticCreativeTakeover submission! The pattern on google docs can be found in the thread linked below, still in progress + being edited but perfectly usable to #crochet either of these #amigurumi plushies so far. :3

Question: With what color infinities should I make this available with?

It is a very nice #stim toy made for the stim prompt of this #AutismAcceptanceMonth's #AutisticCreativeFestival's #AutisticCreativeTakeover by @/SaltedGayFish on Twitter and Tumblr. :3

Calling this the first "draft" of our #amigurumi cat pattern. It's not too bad!
