My son and I made this for a Cub Scout cake auction that got snowed out, so it ended up as a Bday cake for my Bro-in-law. We made another one for the next auction, and he won "most unusual" category. The litter is vanilla wafer cream cookies crushed and tossed with food coloring. The cat is made from 2 - 8" round devil's food cakes, 1 cut in half and iced together for the body, the other shapes cut out for the head, tail, and feet. Tootsie rolls complete the effect.
