The statue of Panteleimon, a grey Persian cat, is located in Kyiv, opposite the restaurant "Пантагрюель", where the cat lived. When a fire broke out in the restaurant, the cat suffocated from the smoke. 😢 Regular customers donated money to restore the restaurant and erect a monument to the faithful cat. The statue was installed in 1998 and is made by sculptor Bohdan Mazur.
