"When the historic building at Fourth and Lincoln in Loveland, CO, burned down, the city decided to build a Pocket Park on the spot, for "quiet times, lunch-time concerts, and gatherings for community festivals. The "Cougar Bench" was created to provide a resting place for visitors to the park, affording the unique experience of sitting with a friendly mountain lion at one's shoulder. It was commissioned via open competition by the Visual Arts Commission of Loveland, installed in 1990, and has since become a popular place for kids, adults and family pets to have their pictures taken. No one knows how to relax like a cat. But even in repose, the feline is always alert, always aware of what goes on around him." - Rosetta
