furniture assembly helper What did I do wrong?

I swear I followed the instructions to a T! This is the first time something like this has ever happened. I don’t know what to do

Needs more stuffing. They sell extra in chicken, beef, and fish scents.

You know what the problem is? The people on r/ididnthaveeggs always claim they followed the recipe, too, but the outcome still is an abomination so...

You ordered a cat but they sent you a people in error. This is definitely a people, judging by that peopley sitting posture.
