Monuments and sculptures of cats and cats

It always seemed to me that a person treats dogs more favorably than cats.
A dog is a friend of a person, lends itself to training, even in service with a person. Very devoted to the owner.

And a domestic cat is just a cat that lives with us in the same house, but try to train it - nothing will work.
Yesterday I saw a ceramic cat in the store and I so wanted to put it on my window in the kitchen from the street side. I will definitely do it. I looked on the Internet - to find out if it is possible to buy a cat sculpture and was amazed at the abundance of monuments and sculptures of cats and cats around the world. So many dog sculptures will not be set! My granddaughter Masha and I loved with pleasure.

And the inhabitants of St. Petersburg today celebrate the day of St. Petersburg cats and cats and it began in 2005, when the St. Petersburg group of artists (Mitka) posted on June 8 on the cornice of the sculpture of the cat, putting on it a sailor (this is the Mitkov uniform) and called it the silence of Matroskin.
Even earlier, two sculptures were installed, donated to the city Ilya Botka - the cat Elisha and the cat Vasilisa. They are on Malaya Sadovaya against each other.
These sculptures were established in memory of those cats that were brought to the city from the Yaroslavl region during the blockade for the destruction of rats, bred in the city - four wagons of smoky cats and cats.

By the time the blockade is removed, they practically cleared the city of such a misfortune.
And in St. Petersburg they celebrate the day of the March cat in the Hermitage.
There lives 70 cats and cats that take care of the paintings of the museum from mice and rats.
Once for the Winter Palace, by order of the Empress, Elizabeth brought from Kazan "... the largest and largest cats, convenient for fishing mice ..."
And here is another St. Petersburg Cat-Cat, which is located on the gunboat island.
This island, before the city was built, was called in Finnish-Kissaisaari, which means a cat island. In memory of this, a stone cat was installed.

In Germany there is a monument to homeless cats.
In our city, homeless cats do not meet me, although I spend a lot of time with my grandchildren on the street.

The city of Kuching on the island of Borneo also exists in Malazia, this word means “cat” in Malaysian and, of course, the locals everywhere put monuments to cats and cats.
There is even a museum of cats here.
