Is prayer accepted in a house that contains paper images, and statues in the shape of cats, women, and children, and stuffed fabric animals filled with wool?

Prayer is valid in a house that contains images, but possessing images of animate beings is forbidden. The brother should be advised by explaining the seriousness of having images in the room, because angels do not enter a house that contains a dog or an image.
