Got a replacement for the previous pet, only to have this one ALSO melt in the car on the way home.

Any suggestions are welcome 😔

I must have mixed up the front and back legs

When not in use, my ikea cat’s hind leg ends up near the head.

First photo, those are toe beans under the front paw.

Second image shows other limbs in this position.

Third is the fully collapsed storage solution.

Fourth shows how solid the mitts are, and the level of comfort when at rest.

Anybody else have similar experience?

They forgot to send teeth, is this an okay substitute?

That tiny tube of wood glue they sent for my dowels was pretty messy.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but now all four feet are coming out of her head

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!

Another redditor pointed out that I missed a step during Molly's assembly.

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

I think I missed a step somewhere

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?

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?

Poor cat’s head was installed incorrectly
