I was charmed by this cat’s face, because I now have a calico tuxedo kitty myself, and she looks almost just like this one, except mine has darker patches. (This kitten’s a dilute calico). Our kitty even has the little splotch just below the nose! I thought the flowers in this puzzle would be fun, boy was I wrong. They were a trial. Took me quite a few sittings. Reminded me a lot of doing that kitten in a field of daisies. Halfway through assembling the rudbeckia, things started to fall into place and it felt enjoyable instead of difficult.
Funny, this one made me figure something out about the puzzle makers. Seems all these little puzzles are made by the same company, or one has bought the others. I thought Puzzlebug was a division of Cra-Z-Art, but this box says Puzzlebug on it, and has the logo LPF on the side. Which matches that from the box of the Copenhagen puzzle I have. So I looked up LPF- it’s the Lafayette Puzzle Factory, which was bought by Cra-Z-Art in 2016. So that explains it.
While the pieces on this one are still thin, prone to getting bent, and all one shape, I do have to say the box they came in is quite a bit sturdier than the other little puzzles I have.
