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.

Turkish wiki also says Tombili, and these Turkish articles also uses Tombili?

Well I’m Turkish and used to live in Kadıköy. I never heard anyone calling this cat Tombili. It was always Dombili. It seems someone made a mistake and it stuck with it.

Maybe this is how you find out you’ve been switched to an alternate universe.

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

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.

Most statues are confusing to people who know nothing about them.
