In a rather curious connection to the historic Steenblik Dairy that operated behind this park for year, the artist paid tribute with these whimsical 4-foot high cats. Christensen held a workshop with children from a nearby elementary school as preparation for the final design of the artwork. He responded to the project goals of giving a sense of place and identity to a neighborhood by acknowledging its history, residents, and involving the community.
