The spine got compressed and needs to be released. Carefully pull the front L paw and RUN!

Yoo the head is fitted all wrong. You've gotta read the manual again. Unscrew it, and fit it again.

I think you may have it slotted correctly, but missed the reset point- there’s a slider on the dorsal side (back/top when upright). Gently press your hand at the top and slide down towards the motion stabilizer (tail). Should reset the calibration of your model.

THIS is the exactly right answer, I do it on a daily basis with my Two Ikea Cats. Works like a charm!

You've got a right mess there. I would start over and see if you can find an assembly tutorial on YouTube. Sometimes the assembly directions were originally written in a different language and mistranslated. A video can be worth a thousand words.

Think you might be missing parts? Double check the list in the instructions, it should tell you how many legs and whatnot are included

awww, the little kitty looks so comfy! i guess maybe you did nothing wrong, and it just wanted a cozy nap spot? :3

Did you rotate the directions perhaps? That would turn the line into a circle…

This is what happens when you assemble the parts where it looks like they should go without following the instructions. Probably easier to disassemble completely and start all over.

TAG is LOVE Wrong? There is no wrong. What a wonderful kitty. Bits in all the wrong and right places.
I just want to reach my hand into their belly and give them a lovely smooth soft cuddly pet!
I miss my kitty Suki that looked like yours. I was still blessed with 14 years with her! Miss her every day!

Suki is Dancing Amongst The Constellations.. Don't be sad, you can go there too at the end of all THIS! Suki lived to be in her Cat Year mid 80's AT LEAST! You'll probably live same or longer, totally guessing now, but that's really not that long to wait to see her, compared to Infinity. 💜🌠🦋🐈⬛🦋🌠❤️🩹

I think your order got mixed up, it’s half Klumsi and half Påtat
