Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this model special?

Once wound up, the cat actually starts moving thanks to its rubber band mechanism; it can be stopped when needed and has a flexible tail: cat fun without any litter or hair on the sofa.

What colors are available?

They are available in natural wood and black, both with the same mechanism.

Can I do this even without any experience?

The cat is Level 4 out of 5 (Tricky): 508 pieces, and tightening the rubber bands in particular requires patience and a light touch. It’s doable with the helpful instructions, but it’s a bit of a challenge as a first model.

Do I need glue?

You don't need glue; everything just snaps together. If you want, you can secure individual connections for extra stability.

How long does it take to assemble, and how big is the cat?

Expect it to take about 5 to 9 hours. Once finished, the cat measures an impressive 48 x 11 x 19 cm and makes a great decoration or a toy that moves around.

What if a part breaks or a rubber band snaps?

That's where our free replacement parts service comes in: Just tell us which part you need, and we'll send it to you as soon as possible. Our support team is available from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and responds in about 30 minutes on average.
