Rzeźba Kota Niezależnego Cyryla w Warszawie, Bronze cat sculpture in Park Nad Balatonem, Gocław district, Warsaw, Poland.
Rzeźba Kota Niezależnego Cyryla is a bronze sculpture located in Park Nad Balatonem in the Gocław district and depicts a cat in a stretching pose on a stone base. The figure sits near a small lake with park grounds surrounding it.
The sculpture was unveiled in 2011 following an initiative by Dorota Szulc-Wojtasik, editor of the magazine Cztery Łapy. The project was created as a tribute to the importance of animal protection in the city.
The sculpture represents care for stray cats in Warsaw and reflects how the city honors animals in its public spaces. It has become a gathering point for people concerned with animal welfare in the community.
The sculpture is easily accessible by public transport and located within a park that has other facilities nearby. The site works well for a visit at any time of day, especially if you are already in the area.
Many visitors report that touching the nose of the figure is believed to bring good luck, which is visible in the polished bronze. This habit has made the statue a place with special meaning for people who visit.
