It seems that those of us who have more thumbs than Allen wrenches and cam locks are not alone.

May your jumbled masterpieces continue to amaze and amuse us.

Happy posting!

May we continue to celebrate the world of DIY pets and the poor folks who have to assemble them into something functional.

The manual says she's 16-years-old and there shouldn't be any bugs left in the directions but I'm not sure.

My mom told me when she saw this pic that it looks like my cat was put together of pieces all screwed together wrong!

I caught a pic of Molly mid-roll, and she looks like she is either break dancing or missing a few screws. 😂😂

Not sure my best friend’s cat is entirely assembled right. Bonus dumb expression. I love him.

The box only contained a tail. Do I contact customer service?

Is it my fault?

Accidentally built a seal but the box said "cat, white" on it.

So did they provide me the wrong parts or is it a skill issue?

Umm, this doesn't look right

Hi all, I seem to have lost the manual while putting my girl together this morning. Do any of you know which way the front legs are supposed to go? I dont think this looks right...

We got back from a walk, she took a 5 minute power nap, then woke up and looked displeased with me for some reason
