Designed and created by Kathleen McCullough (née Conchuratt) in 1977, the sculpture is currently installed near the intersection of Southwest Fifth Avenue and Southwest Morrison Street.

Description

Cat in Repose is a stone sculpture composed of Indiana Limestone, created by Kathleen McCullough (née Conchuratt)[2] in 1977. McCullough also sculpted Limestone Lion (1983), a similar stone work donated by CitiCorp to the Lincoln Park Zoo in memory of A. Rush Watkins, the Chicago businessman who helped establish the Lincoln Park Zoological Society and later served as its president.[3] Both works, depicting reclining felines, are considered interactive art for providing surfaces on which to lean or climb.[3]

The sculpture measures {{convert|36|x|53|in|m}}.[4] According to the Regional Arts & Culture Council, the sculpture is "one of the most celebrated sculptures along the Portland Transit Mall and is especially dear to children".[4]
