Recently, a very cute picture of a lego cat that is grooming himself (in all the best places) has made the round on social media. I tip my hat to the creator who is unknown to me.

I knew I just had to have that cat!

I first asked ChatGPT to analyze the image and list the individual bricks but it told me it can't do that. It instead suggested giving [BrickLink Studio](https://www.bricklink.com/v3/studio/download.page?ref=corti.com) a try to try to re-create the model. Nice idea.

I took me a while but I think I figured it out pretty well after a while. The hard part is to create solid connections and to use the largest possible bricks.

Once the model is done, I was able to automatically create a step-by-step, Lego style manual on how to build it. Nice feature in Studio.

Then, I headed over to the Lego store to get the required parts and it allowed me to use an exported parts list to order all needed bricks from the [Lego "pick-a-brick"](https://www.lego.com/en-us/pick-and-build/pick-a-brick?ref=corti.com) store.

The only issue was the tongue, which it couldn't locate but I quickly found that as "**1x1 1/2 circle**" brick - even in pink.
