If it's a white faced cat start with white, etc. After this dries completely, recoat it. Let it dry again. At this point, turn the ball upside down to fit the hanger down inside the neck of the bottle to hide it. Sketch a face you like on the ball with a pencil, not an ink pen.
Ink can sometimes 'bleed' through.
Start painting the details. Outline the nose and eyes if an animated look is desired. Do not spray with acrylic clear coat before adding the ears or the glue will not adhere to the surface. The ears on the Fancy Felines were cut from a soft craft foam sheet and glued on with superglue. The foam can be purchased in many different colors but the foam can also be painted with acrylic, insuring the color matches the paint already being used for the rest of the project.
