Variation on Jay Nicholas’ old-school Metolius pattern; lacking red dyed peacock I put some bleached herl to use. Check out his [b]vid[/b] for the tying sequence; enjoy the cat.

hook - TMC 5212 #12
thread - Danville 6/0 orange
tail - calftail white
rib - xsmall wire gold
abdomen - peacock herl bleached
wing - calftail white
hackle - ginger/grizzly
head - tying thread

Regards,
Scott

That was a great Vid. And, a very affectionate and well-behaved cat. The cats I used to live with would have been all over the feathers, and probably the bobbin as well.
