Purring Cat Project
A #PaperAutomata Project
Check out the latest downloadable paper automata from my website! Download the project, print out the parts and make your own purring cat. The cat itself also makes for a really cute stand-alone project to sit on your desk.
The purring sound is generated via a partial toothed wheel, the teeth cover just short of two thirds of the circumference making an intermittent purring sound, just like a real cat! *
The project comes as a downloadable PDF, with all the parts ready to print front and back onto thin card. After the parts, you’ll find a fully illustrated set of step‑by‑step instructions to guide you through the construction.
