Hi luvs. The pattern name is "Night and Day" by Carolee Pollock. It came from Snow Angel Publishing in Wasilla, Alaska from 1995!
Thanks all of the compliments. I kind of like the goofy looking kitty myself. The original pattern does not call for any "fat trapunto", but I figured since the litty was appliqued onto a background that would eventually get sandwiched with another back, might as well give it a try!
Hint: fat kitty is stuffed for a reason
