Cat House Puzzle

About the game

A large family of cats lives in this house, and everyone has their own things to do. Some are cooking in the kitchen, some are relaxing in the living room, and others are pottering about in the garage. But to see the cats’ whole life, you first need to assemble the house!

‘The Cat House’ is a large, two-layer jigsaw puzzle comprising 176 pieces. First, the child assembles the lower layer with the rooms, then the front façade with the roof, windows and balconies. In the picture, you can spot 24 cats, each busy with their own activities.

Two layers, lots of interesting details and a whole feline world that you’ll want to look at again and again.
