I really love Seymon. A fat traveler cat. It's statue looks funny but with a hard and amazing story. This cat traveled 2000 kilometers to come back his house. He was sick and skinny when arrived home. So it is the reason why artist create it a fat cat. It seems he feed Seymon during creation. You can sit next to him and whisper in his ear, folk believes it will come true as soon as possible.
