The cats are made of wood and have striking red eyes. They both appear to be arching their backs at one another. Their ears are on alert, as are their tails. It looks like something's about to happen!
A sign by the sculpture reads:
"AKERSHUS FORTRESS SCULPTURE TRAIL
Cat
The jury's verdict:
This is a sculpture that makes you want to play. It's really cool that the tail breaks the line of the back. Perhaps, the eyes light up at night?
