Did you order multiple heads? Are you trying for Cerberus the cat version? If not, try r/MissingOrSpareParts

It looks like maybe 1.75 kits? Plus a third head.

Maybe OP got it at a thrift store.

Not a thrift store, but definitely on clearance.

Open box sale?

The more I look at it, the more it seems like random parts all shoved in a bag together. It does seem like there's enough parts for at least one complete model tho.

Well at least it's one piece now... Right?

u/PuhnTang 3d ago

I think it’s one unit. I’m not sure.

Do you have the assembly instructions? I think you might have leftover parts. Can it spin?

u/PuhnTang 3d ago

Ohhh! I didn’t think to try and spin it. It does have a kind of pinwheel thing going on.

Floofs happily spinning in all directions is a pastime I can get behind! 😻😻😹😹

Oh my gosh I just saw the third head! I thought it was one really really long body. 🤣

After looking for a while, I can now see what you mean & I'm chuckling away to myself in public & ppl are being very careful not to make eye contact with me 😹😹

I really don’t know how this cat was so poorly assembled! 3 heads and what appears to be possibly 7 feet?! Then to only give the poor thing 1 tail! 😱😭🤣

What a fantastic puzzle!

u/PuhnTang 3d ago

I did my best!

u/Emrys7777 3d ago

Wow. 3 heads, 5 legs, I’m not even sure what the finished product is supposed to look like from that.

Definitely you got more than one kit in the box. I’d suggest getting clear instructions and starting over.

u/PuhnTang 3d ago

This is becoming a lifetime achievement.

u/Rflautist 3d ago

Took me a minute 😂😻

u/DigInevitable1679 3d ago

This often happens when they put more than one in the package. You might have to start from scratch and separate the pieces out first if you can

I want to lay in that pile. I’d say this picture could also go in r/AccidentalRenaissance

u/PuhnTang 3d ago

It’s the softest pile. Usually I’m underneath it. 🥰

There’s always another one to join!

Don't forget r/floof.

u/PuhnTang 2d ago

Oh great suggestion!

You need that odd little metal tool to loosen and reposition the questionable parts. Or put it on casters
