Sorry to hear it. It’s always a little annoying when a creation doesn’t work

One thing you might want to look at for the next time is the proper anatomy of a
cat, especially in the feet - your skeleton is missing a joint on each leg, and
the proportions are way off. The spine is also questionably concieved - I would
have gone in for a series of flex cables or pneumatics myself, something with a
more appropriate range of motion for the subject matter. All in all, I doubt it
would have walked especially well, or looked particularly catlike if it had.
Here’s a diagram that illustrates my points a little better:
Hope your next one goes easier.
