Crazy cat lady action figure
You may be aware of the phenomenon of animal hoarding. Teresa Nielsen Hayden has written about it:

It's an odd, disturbing, and pitiable pattern of behaviour. But as the Singing Branson proved, nothing is too off-beat for the tacky gift shops of Piedmont Avenue. Here is the "Crazy Cat Lady Action Figure (How many cats do you have?)", on display in a shop window just down the street from the purveyor of fine Bransons:

Half funny, half offensive...all tasteless.
