Do you want to please children--or your own interests--with fun balloon animals? The cat is one of the most requested balloon animals there are. But a two or three balloon cat is slower to make, and children don't like waiting. So here is how to make a one balloon cat.
Steps

Get your balloon.
Fill the balloon with 75% air.Advertisement
Tie the balloon.
Make two inch-long bubbles. This is for the muzzle.
Take the knot and wrap it around the last section. The two bubbles should now be connected.
Wrap the knot around the two bubbles. This is to make sure they don't come apart and to get the knot out of the way.
Make two tiny bubbles. This is for the back of the head. Make sure they are the same size.
Make five bubbles that are a little over an inch. This is for the head. When making them, count to ten while twisting each bubble.
Twist the last of the two tiny bubbles you made in step #7 with the last of the five larger bubbles you made in step #8. It should make a loop, kind of like a flower.
Stick the muzzle through the hole.
Pinch the two little bubbles that are beside the center bubble. To pinch them, pull it out and turn it.
Make another small bubble for the neck.
Add two bubbles that are three inches long. These will be the legs.
Take the beginning section of the first 'bubble-leg' and twist it in with the last section of the second bubble-leg. Bend the legs down, where they are vertical.
Add another small section for the body. This section should just be a little over an inch.
Now make two more three-inch bubbles for the hind legs. Twist them together like you did for the front legs earlier.
Kink the tail. Bend it in an 'S' shape and massage it for a few seconds. Turn the tail so it is facing up.
Finished.
