**Background**
After listening to the children’s stories of “the little Major Tom”, my six-year-old daughter asked me to create a robot cat just as it is described in those books. That original cat can walk, talk, fly and knows about everything. Hence, the task of rebuilding this cat is obviously a bit too challenging, so I was going to make something simpler first. Basically, I wanted to demonstrate some simple kinematics – which are not that simple in the end…
The resulting “cat” looks a bit incomplete. It’s quite simple and symmetric and you will find only some simple holes where the face and the tail should be mounted. The design of these parts (by print or paper) are up to anyone who is willing to recreate the cat.

**Printing**
All parts are prepared to be printed with a layer height of 0,2mm and a 0,4mm nozzle.
The parts do not require any supports, only the “shoes” might be easier to print with supports switched on.
