Jorts the orange tabby cat and his sidekick tortie Jean burst into our lives at the end of a Very Hard Year thanks to the classic subReddit “AITA.” To make a very funny story short and not-so-funny (you can read the whole thing here), Jorts the cat is not-so-smart and not-so-neat. Apparently Jorts smelled really bad and in an effort to encourage Jorts to groom himself, Pam – one of his human co-workers – “buttered” Jorts. Jorts being Jorts, he was too lazy to do so and let Jean lick it all off, which made Jean very sick. The matter went all the way to HR and a star was born.

As usual with my stuffies, I try to make a pattern with as little seaming as possible as I don’t like seaming. However, if you’re not comfortable picking up stitches, you can always knit his tail separately and sew it on.

The instructions for joining the ears and forming the head are a little confusing, so I’ll be adding photos and perhaps a video.
