Yeah, the exaggerated size of the head compared to the body and the little
pink cat smile provide the charicature elements, I suppose.

But I want to know, how did you get RealRingo(tm) to pose alongside
LegoRingo(tm)?? We can never photograph our cats, they won't hold still long
enough.

LEGO Ringo is a lot better about holding still for photos, it's true.  @8^)
Our secret for photographing the real Ringo is just to keep taking photos.
I didn't bother putting online the ten other photos of the two cats standing
near each other, but with real-Ringo's head a blur of motion.  Of course, if
you do flash photography, that will pretty much ensure a clear freeze-frame,
but I generally greatly prefer the look of non-flash photos wherever possible.
