Square Enix shared some details about the process of deg the CG renders and models for Cait Sith in FFVII Rebirth. Despite having a brief cameo in Episode INTERmission on FFVII Remake Intergrade, the character made his full appearance in the second title of the remake trilogy.

The company explained that the final touch ups to the fur were very challenging when deg the full-body CG, but the team at Square Enix was satisfied with the soft-textured feel of Cait Sith for his model in FFVII Rebirth. For the close-up bust, the developers explored several pose ideas inspired by the image of playing with a plush or a stuffed animal toy, with movable legs and arms.

One of these ideas involved Cait Sith using both of his hands to imitate cat paws raised up to his ears and slightly tilting his face to create a sly expression. The aforementioned pose was shown on the third image in the post shared by the company, which you can check out in more detail below.
