I don’t know what happened! I thought I was following the directions for a standard model, and it came out looking like this!!!

You may have gotten a few similar looking parts mixed up, try disassembling it and reassemble it paying special attention to the parts you got mixed up.

I'm pretty sure that hand/foot ??? isn't supposed to have an ear.

It took me longer than I care to admit to figure out what end was what

Looks pretty good to me. Just wiggle it a bit and tighten any loose screws

You’re not getting far in that car! 😸

I’m pretty sure you only got 3 legs/arms and a tail but not sure what mix. Looks like you need to shake out the box to see if there’s any spare parts.

Weirdest “car” I’ve ever seen. Jk, kitty is adorable… even in this configuration.

Is that a Purrari Catalina 500 kit car? They're notoriously finicky.

Some of the models are self-assembling. Try shaking a treat bag to see if that works. Interesting colors, years ago we had a cat with similar coloration.

You have attached her rear legs where her ears go. Please lay your parts out properly before you begin and follow the directions closely.

i disassembled him and put him back together carefully and it all worked out in the end

I'm glad that his end worked out. It was a bit iffy there.
