House with Cats, Art Nouveau residential building in Kyiv, Ukraine.
The green and white facade of this four-story building features numerous decorative cat sculptures, owl figures, and mascarons along its walls and windows.
Engineer-architect Vladimir Bessmertny designed this building in 1909 for Colonel Fyodor Yagimovsky, incorporating both Art Nouveau and Gothic architectural elements.
The building earned recognition as a Ukrainian cultural heritage site, with symbolic decorations where cats serve as protectors and owls represent knowledge.
Located at 23 Hoholivska Street, the structure maintains its residential status on upper floors while commercial spaces occupy the ground level.
The building includes a central facade with asymmetrical elements, featuring two green-eyed cats near a large arched window and a chimera at its peak.
