I found the pics at here http://www.dappertoad.com/2013/01/crochet-kitty-free-pattern-link.html
This cat, let me tell you, is so adorably pose-able it's just nuts. I think he turned out a little smug looking, but he's still cute. And the pattern is free! How could you not make one? It's a great beginner pattern and hooks up pretty quickly. He's quite large as well: mine is 13 inches tall.
And I found the pattern here http://www5a.biglobe.ne.jp/~mite/diagram/crochetedCat.html

Here is a little picture tutorial for adding legs, and tails to the torso as you crochet the torso. Hope it’s helpful !
Here is the beginning of the torso, Round 6 completed. I like to put the legs on either side of one the little points.
Just put the leg on the front of your work to one side of the little point. You can see your leg just about fits on one of those sides. Crochet Round 7 till you get up to where you would start to attach the leg.
Crochet through both layers of the leg and into the next stitch on the torso. Continue across the leg going in the next set of stitches.
I like put one sc in between the legs and then start the second leg. Here is the back side of the work showing the stitches where the leg is secured.
Notice that there is another little point directly across from where the legs are crocheted on.
Place the tail directly over that point and crochet it in.
Now the legs and tail are crocheted on !!! I find I usually either add or subtract a couple stitches doing this, so increase or decrease stitches as you finish Round 7 so you are back to 36 stitches.
For Round 28 I lay the body on it’s side and place the arm about half way between the tail and legs.
Sc through both layers of the arm and into the torso.
Ta-Da !!
