Capricious Cat Brass & Amber Figurine

According to legend, when a temple in Konigsberg was taken over by enemies and its citizens left the city, the dogs left with them, too. The city's cats remained, however, and that’s why when the liberators entered the main gates, having recaptured the city from the enemy, the only creatures that met them were these cats. Thus, the cat symbol came to be regarded as the symbol of Konigsberg's protection. To this day, the sculpture of a cat stands near the Kings gates, guarding its city. Place this figurine on a book shelf or in the hallway near home's 'gates' and let this cat become your protector!
