Found On The Net: A Giant Cat Statue






In the northern part of Taiwan, there is a village that has lots of stray cats. Village people take care of the stray cats; photographers and newspaper reporters would go and document the lives of these stray cats. This village thus being nicknamed the "Cat Village" and became a point of tourist attraction.



Among the stray cats, four most popular ones were nicknamed the "Four Kings". Of the four Kings, "Black Nose" was the most popular one. Recently "Black Nose" passed away.



To celebrate Black Nose's life and to increase tourism, a 6-foot statue was unveiled at the train station on September 12, 2010.
