Description
The bronze sculpture of a cat weighing almost 26 kilograms appeared on one of the underground passages near the "Rainbow" shopping center for a reason. In the spring of 2021, a fire broke out in the northern part of the crossing. The smell of burning was detected by the cat Kolbaskin, who began rushing into the gatehouse where the guard was, trying to escape from the fire in what seemed to the cat to be a safe place. So he attracted attention, the fire was extinguished on time, and since then the legend of the savior cat has developed. The cause of the fire is trivial – one of the passengers threw an unopened cigarette over the fence of the construction site, which is located next to the bus stop.
The Makarov brothers, restaurateurs, decided to perpetuate the heroic deed of the cat and took the initiative to create a monument in his honor. They felt that if a fluffy cat could bring good luck to them, it would surely bring good luck to the residents of the city.
