Pretty sure a few pieces might not be in the right place yet, but .. there aren't many pieces left

There are some duplicate pieces and some that are only very slightly off in terms of angles in the same places

for example:

the leftmost pair on the top row are identical

the pair on the right are mirror images

the bottom two are not identical, but definitely have a similar feel

these cat critters to be specific!

best puzzle

knew it

there was a piece that had an identical top shape but a longer length

!!!

AliaShepard: Ooh, those! I hadn't seen that video of theirs. xD

this puzzle is so cute!

It is!! I love-raged at it the entire time I was trying to solve it. Even after I figured out that "every cat's orientation is ears up"

It kept nudging at my patience but I couldn't put it down for long

My favorite "wtf where do you go???" piece was the big cat near the lower middle

Counting the bottom piece as 1, the 5th piece from the bottom

And then I found the little guy that fits into the bottom of that piece
