Have you ever wanted to own a cat, but didn’t want to clean the litter box or pay for vet visits? The latest set from the LEGO Ideas crowdsourcing platform has got you covered, as 21349 Tuxedo Cat is the perfect feline friend who will always stay where you put it and rarely scratch up your couch. The project was first submitted to Ideas by fan Damian Andres (AKA The Yellow Brick) way back at the end of 2020 as a sculpture of his cat, a Siamese-Birman mix named Miro. The official set shifts the color scheme to a Tuxedo and makes a fair number of changes to the construction, but keeps the overall scale and pose the same as Damian’s submission. The Ideas model boasts 1,710 pieces, and includes pieces to swap out for yellow or blue eyes, along with an alternate lower lip to give the cat a different expression.

A quote from one reader:
Hi!
You wrote: The cat comes in a fairly hefty portrait-oriented lidded box.
The way the box has been designed suggests a slightly different wording, hinting at an alternative potential use for the box:
*The cat comes in a fairly hefty portrait-oriented litter box.*
Can‘t wait for pix
Best,

P.S.: Don‘t forget to shred the paper bags – they‘ll make do as cat litter.
my cat howard was a tuxedo. he was a character...
How on earth did you pick a name Howard for a cat??.
Geez nearly $200 for lumps of plastic..not on my list of things to buy..
howie for short, it just came to me, like the name of his cat brother, roger...
I can't believe the price for a Lego set. Didn't cost me anything for my tuxedo cat, Fidget, that was my buddy for 17 years. He was given to me as a kitten by my neighbour and friend Gale Garnett who was the composer and singer of "We'll Sing in the Sunshine".
Would a Lego cat jump into your lap and start purring while you're watching TV?
Lego is working on fur ball accessories.
If the toy is supposed to be a female they could program it to howl at night in heat.
