Your mouth, from the side

catJaw well open, tongue low and forward, lips a little spread.

cutJaw half open, tongue resting in the middle: short and relaxed.

cotJaw well open, tongue low and back, as when a doctor says "ah".

How to make it

Three different vowels: "cat" opens your mouth wide with a flat tongue, "cut" is short and relaxed in the middle, "cot" opens wide and far back, like "ah". And "bed" is not "bad": for "bed" your mouth is half open, for "bad" it opens wide.
