Feline Entrepreneur

Joshua is now big enough to have one of those trikes with the parent handle on the back (it seems like there's probably a better name, but I don't know what it is).  We ordered one made by a company called Alex Toys.  While it had overall positive reviews, people indicated it was a nightmare to put together, but it was great once it was assembled.  I figured it couldn't be that bad, but then I looked at the instructions with hard-to-interpret drawings and no words.  Still, I figured the first couple steps out, but then I went to snap the wheels on, and one of them wouldn't snap on at all.  I tried everything to no avail.  I called customer service, and they're sending me new parts.  But between the useless instructions and the questionable quality control, I'm beginning to wonder if Alex, our cat, with his tiny cat brain, is the mastermind behind this shoddily-run corporation known as Alex Toys.
