Here's the top of her head being closed:
My brother assisted by providing his raccoon (to help me visualize how to construct the head), and by choosing the colour for the final ear:
Aside: If you're wondering about the total lack of hair, my brother has alopecia. I may have a lot of allergies, but at least my body doesn't think it's allergic to my own hair! Of course, my brother looks pretty good when hairless... probably much better than I would. And another advantage of alopecia is that he doesn't have to shave. ;) (At least when *all* of it falls out. When it's patchy, it's better when he shaves the rest off.)
To face, or not to face, that is the question:

Lady Marmalade is adorable! Nice work! My sister's fiance has alopecia. So is this an autoimmune disease? I thought my body attacking its own thyroid was bad.
Lady Marmalade is TOO cute & your brother is one good-looking guy! A very Merry Christmas to all of you. :)
I think alopecia is autoimmune, but I'm not positive.
Love the kitty. You did a great job.
Marmalade looks wonderful!!!!!! Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Oh, that is the coolest kitty I have ever seen! You did an absolutely fantastic job, and I love the idea of different bits of orange yarn. Very cool.
I hope you and your family had a wonderful holiday. XOXO
LM is adorable!!

Thanks everyone! :))
Yes, Lady Marmalade is my own pattern. I don't think I'll write it up... it would be a nightmare to write up, and pretty confusing to follow!
Thanks for all the good wishes too!
