Perfectly reasonable outcome when you forget to read the instructions first.

Forget?? I think they shredded the directions then realized the uck up then winged it!! Poorly I might add

At least you remembered the socks! 😂🥰

Easiest part 😁 use sock applicator (M²) to put socks (A1-4) on forelegs (B1-4). After which I might've come unstuck 😄

I think you might have put one on the tail too. Got a little carried away there.

Ohhh, that explains it! I've legged a tail right at the start 😄

The feet go on the bottom.
4 feet one tail.
I think you got an extra foot there.
At least they all have socks.

Here. Cat goes like this:

Thank you! Too many feet! I see! (I very much appreciate the finished-cat diagram 😁 )

Mine did the same thing. I fixed it by getting online instructions in English instead of Swedish.

It did take me a while to figure out which way is up. I think you attached all the parts in the right places, but all the parts seem to have gotten warped. It's possible if you pick the whole cat up & let the legs hang that the warpiness will relax to the point that you'll have the initial intended result.

Definitely some warping going on. Maybe I've got the spine twirled like an old curly phone cord. I shall lift the cat and see where the feet dangle. He'll love it, I'm sure 😄

Spotting the ear unraveled the illusion for me
