299 Cats (and a dog).
These are not the classic tiles, because each one is in the shape of a cat! And here of cats there are as many as 299…
Where could it be? Don’t worry: in order not to drive you crazy, we have prepared a nice reference poster for you.
Begin to build the frame, then gradually insert your cats starting from the edge and moving toward the center.
Once you become proficient, try assembling the kittens starting instead from the center to the edge.
Then if you want to embark on a devilishly complicated undertaking, dispense with the reference poster! But know this: you will find a lot of catches…
Will you be able to assemble the 299 Cats (and one dog) that make up this amazing ” ball” puzzle?

Invented around 1760 by John Spilsbury a London cartographer and engraver, puzzles were originally geographically themed and were made by painting the subject on a wooden board and then cutting it out into small pieces.
As time went on, the subjects of the puzzles began to change: no longer just geographical elements, but also historical episodes and everyday life.
The materials used to make them also changed: while fine woods, such as mahogany and cedar, were initially used, the use of less valuable woods began.
Today, puzzles continue to be made but in cardboard, through a process of printing the image on anti-reflective paper, glued to cardboard then cut out.
