3. Print in landscape orientation at 100% / Actual Size.
4. Turn off “Fit to Page” or automatic scaling.

Printer margins and colour output vary. If exact finished size matters, check your print dialogue before printing the full set.

### ASSEMBLY

1. Print your chosen page.
2. Cut out all pieces along the outer edges.
3. Carefully make holes at the connection points shown in the assembly guide.
4. Place the head tab behind the torso.
5. Place the arms and legs over the front of the torso.
6. Place the tail behind the torso and attach it at the tail-side hip together with the leg.
7. Secure the pieces with 5 small paper brads per cat. Leave the brads loose enough for the parts to move.

Please refer to the included illustrated guide before punching the holes.

### COLOURING OPTION

Use the black-and-white line-art version with pencils, markers or crayons before assembly. Test wet media on your chosen paper first and allow it to dry completely before cutting.

### SVG NOTE

The SVG files are editable vector artwork for compatible design and cutting software. Software features and import behaviour vary, so please confirm that your chosen program supports SVG files before purchase. The detailed printed artwork may still require careful cutting by hand depending on your machine and preferred finish.
