perhaps you could go with the “affected my cat in an unfortunate way” excuse… like it caused spraying or the cat had severe bowel troubles after an encounter with the statue. gotta go with the living kitty over the statue kitty. ---

Wow, I’m really glad I didn’t buy you that. Yes, those are unfortunate,and just when you finally got people\* to stop buying you that other collection-you-didn’t-really-collect stuff \*\*, too. I have no suggestions. I’ve got my in-laws trained to give cash or ignore my birthday altogether. Either way works. - well, me \*\* You know what I mean. ---

Yeah, they’re cute at a distance but… (On the other hand, I think their creepiness MIGHT be a good point for some) ---
