Orange Cat (LEGO 21376)

About this set

LEGO Ideas 21376, the orange cat, sits in the scene category with a 1755 part count and a 5/5 difficulty rating, so plan for a multi-evening build rather than a quick session. The box carries the LEGO logo and the 21376 code. The finished model is a seated cat in brown and white, with green eyes, a pink tongue and black whiskers; the ears and curled tail are built as separate sub-assemblies, which gives the face a fair amount of character from the front. The tricky parts are the head-to-body connection, keeping the seated legs symmetrical, and shaping the tail curve. Sort the brown and white pieces into separate trays early, build the head last, and leave the eyes and whiskers until the end so you can nudge them into place. Most of the 1755 parts are small slopes and plates, so finding pieces slows you down; this suits builders with some mid-to-large set experience who like animal subjects or the Ideas line, while the 5/5 rating makes it a hard start for newcomers. Brown and white dominate, with the green eyes and pink tongue as the only colour accents, so the silhouette reads best on a pale desk.
