cat's crack

To make a complete mess of something, to fail miserably to achieve your objectives.

WIFE: Did the furniture arrive from IKEA last night?
HUSBAND: Yes.
WIFE: Was my fold-away bed couch with built-in foot spa there?
HUSBAND: Yes.
WIFE: Ooooh!! Will you assemble it for me?
HUSBAND: I started on it last night, but I made a cat's crack of it.
