In Greek mythology, the cat was created by the goddess Artemis . In fact, a legend has it that this she could transform into a feline.

Maintenance
To keep a bronze sculpture intact, it is important to clean it regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid using harsh detergents that could damage the natural patina. If the sculpture is displayed outdoors, protect it from weather and humidity, as these factors can accelerate oxidation. It is advisable to periodically apply a light microcrystalline wax to preserve the surface and keep the sculpture shiny over time.
