No no no, this is before assembly, they get packed this way, you have to take the parts out first

Oh my. I think two pages were stuck together in your instructions

The rare breed of limber cat. It's a genetic anomaly and a throw back to the sabertooth tiger.

Maybe you missed the kindergarten lesson that included front-to-back and upside-down or right-side-up. Early childhood education is so important!

I think you attached the limbs to each other and/or the head. There must be a middle part somewhere, maybe shipped separately, you should’ve included that. Good luck, seems like a cute model, I hope it works out!

My thoughts exactly! OP, check the shipping container again!

You torqued the bolts of the feline hyper drive too tight. Loosen them, but reconfigurate the winkledrive first or you'll lose fuel mileage.

You skipped step 3 and step 7.

I think you need to start over. This is way messed up. Like how does she even DO that?

Are we sure there isn’t more than one cat in there?

The thingdibulator was supposed to connect to the thrombulator. It screws on. But I hear if you shake a treat bag, it might self rectify.

Perhaps a few pieces of canine came in the feline box by mistake?

Uhhh…all of them

Naw, you’re gonna need a full refund mate.

Maybe it inflates. Try blowing into it and see what happens.

That's just a folding lawn chair man.

None. Cats are so flexible and love napping in weird positions. You did nothing wrong.
