Reading whataslacker’s review was quite enjoyable! It comes across as a very honest and practical take on this small MOC. I appreciate that they highlighted both the positives, like the brick quality and the fun factor, and the slight negatives, particularly the tip about the build order for the front legs – that sounds like genuinely useful advice for anyone else building it. The suggestions for adding a few extra tiles are specific and seem like easy ways to enhance the little cat model, making it look even more finished. Seeing the picture of the completed blocky cat mid-stretch, especially with their actual cat looking on curiously in the background, really brings the review to life and makes the “cat approved” comment even funnier and more charming! It sounds like a neat little set, despite the minor build sequence issue, and makes you curious about the other poses in the series.

MOC – Stretching Cow Cat
whataslacker
This is a quick little build that is a lot of fun. The bricks are good quality ABS and come nicely packaged. The instructions (digital only) are easy enough to follow, although I did have to take the giant image and break it up into a Word document to print it out (I no longer have a tablet, and building from my phone is not really possible for me).
The build starts with the front legs, and I found that they kept falling off or coming apart as I built the rest of the cat. This is not because of the brick quality, more that this portion of the build should have been last.
The set is only 64 parts, so it doesn’t take long before you have a fun kitty to display.
Overall, a good smaller MOC. The only thing besides re-ordering the instructions so as not to start with the front of the cat is the addition of three 1×1 tiles, a black one for the tail tip, and two white ones for the tops of the back feet. The added thickness on the back feet would be a plus, same on the tail. An added bonus would be covering the studs on the back half of the build. Should you want a studless design, you could also swap out a few of the parts on the head, too.
My cat also approves of this MOC. If he had thumbs, I am sure he would give it two thumbs up.
There are a total of five different cow cat MOCs, and I look forward to building the rest.
That was whataslacker’s take on this fun little cow cat build! What stood out to you from the review – the build hack for the legs, the suggestions for improvement, or perhaps the feline seal of approval? Let us know your reactions or if you’ve built something similar by leaving a comment!
