4. Fill the mold with the resulting mass and smooth the surface, so there are no gaps.
5. To make a colored cat, acrylic paint is added to the silicone, in the desired color, and mixed. We leave it to harden for 8-12 hours.

7. With scissors, cut off all unnecessary edges, to get an even and beautiful kitty.
8. We paint the figure. Silicone is painted only with silicone. We mix acrylic paint with sealant. We need black, white and pink. We paint ears, eyes, muzzle. You can paint a little spot on the tummy or tail. We leave the silicone to harden for a couple of hours.
