Question

Can I make a cat with paper clips and yarn?

You could with practice. If you are successful, you could make your own wikiHow tutorial.
Question

Could I make it less detailed, or would that make it look weird?

You can do whatever you please with your art. "Weird" is just an opinion. For example, some people may find hyper-realistic weird, and cartoon art normal. Your art, your choice!
Question

I don't feel like I'm good enough to chase after my dream (being an artist) because in terrible at drawing, should I think so badly in this situation?

Remember no one is born Bob Ross! It takes years of practice and lots of mistakes to become really good! If you think you are not good at drawing, you can still become an artist! Maybe try digital art, ceramics, painting, watercolors or glass fusion. If you don't practice, you cannot be as good as the people who do. Remember, we are our own worst critics, so don't give up!
Question

What if it doesn't look at all like how it did in the picture?

That's okay. That's fine that it turned out different (it's unique!). But if you want to improve, you need to practice. Through regular practice and study, you can grow to draw animals just like in pictures or even to your own imagining.
