Cat in Repose, Stone sculpture in downtown Portland, United States.

The limestone sculpture depicts a resting feline figure measuring 36 by 53 inches at the intersection of Southwest Fifth Avenue and Morrison Street.

Created by sculptor Kathleen McCullough in 1977, Cat in Repose became part of the Portland and Multnomah County Public Art Collection through Regional Arts Council.

The sculpture stands as an example of interactive public art in Portland, where children and families regularly gather to touch and climb its surface.

Located along the Portland Transit Mall at 522 SW 5th Avenue, the sculpture remains accessible to visitors throughout the year without admission fees.

The sculpture's surface has developed different textures over decades of human contact, particularly from children climbing and touching the limestone material.
