Grumpy cat doorstop

Grumpy Cat is an internet phenomenon with her own wikipedia entry and merchandise. And several crochet patterns so you can make your own! A nice free pattern can be found on Ravelry here.


This pattern lends itself very well to turning Grumpy Cat into a doorstop, a role she fulfills with obvious pleasure. I just made her body slightly bigger and stuffed it with metal bits wrapped in a towel, so it's soft (for kicking in bare feet) yet heavy enough to hold the door.


How long can you stand all the grumpy looks before getting cheerful?
