I'm sorry, I'm really sorry... I love the tribute, it's very sweet, but I really can't stop seeing the cat version of the Ronaldo bust.

I see the sculptor was flattering, and portayed him as in his younger and less chubby days.

Without access to the meme, this is going to be so confusing for people in the future
-
Most statues are confusing to people who know nothing about them.
-
Go place a plaque that says "Mustafa Ataturk" and watch people's heads expose that he was actually a very small cat and not a normal sized human.

I think if I saw a statue of a cat just chilling, I'd get the vibe. Humans have been entertained by animals doing human-like stuff since we first developed the brains to recognize it.

I know for a fact the name is Dombili. There is no such thing as tombili and I don't know why the wiki page says Tombili is Turkish for fatty.
There is Tombilik which is a small tuna fish and there is Tombik which is similar to Dombili but it's used for cuter things. While Dombili is more like slang in way you would jokingly say fatty. To sum up there is no such thing as Tombili. I wish you all a great life.

Is this not an insane tripping hazard?
