Create icons from images

Other Gimp users constantly post vids about how to use images to create desktop icons using GIMP. I eventually realised that I had to rename the file to .ico myself and then, contrary to the instructions I had to EXPORT the photo and not simply SAVE it, things began to look rosy, until I viewed the end result (see attached image), my icon is a cat between the normal Telephone and Gimp icons! Please explain where I'm going wrong?

P.S as instructed I saved the file in *32x32* pixels and renamed it as CAT *.ico*
Hope you can help and thank you for reading.

Oops - looks like you hit “Send” before attaching the sample image or link. I do that way too often, too.
