I think I’ve commented this before, but I guess I’m a cat person now. Although, I’m not sure who wouldn’t want to do this puzzle. It’s such a unique image and fun with the cats all dressed up and riding around in hot air balloons. It looks a little more steampunk-like than true hot air balloons. I know when I found the puzzle, I went online to see if there were more like it. Unfortunately, there’s not but I’m hoping that more come.

Let’s get started!

Not looking at the image while I puzzle means that I’m just relying on my memory of the image and my guesses on where the sections go in the puzzle. With this one, I had that red and yellow balloon in the totally wrong side. I don’t know why I thought it went on the side or even the top but I was trying it out there until I got more of it together and realized that it belonged on the bottom. That’s the fun of puzzling, for me at least. I know it’s not for others. But I like that discovery of where a section belongs.




Again, this was a really fun puzzle to put together. And as I was working on it, I took notice of the other cats in the puzzle. The two on the top left stand out because they’re the most in focus but there’s also a couple down further on the left and then over to the right. I’m not quite sure what’s going on in the image but I imagine it’s a bit like an old-fashioned Sunday picnic where they’re just going for a ride and a bit of a meal while they take in the view.

Because there was so much going on, I did a short video of the puzzle.
