The Sassy Cat stands guard over a park in the center of Chagrin Falls, Ohio. I’ve taken photos of this statue several different times, but this one with the beautiful forsythia in the background is my favorite shot.
The Sassy Cat statue is a memorial to a woman named Marguerite Kelly, and the best that I can figure out is that The Sassy Cat was a gift and stationery store founded by Kelly.
Thanks to Debbie Dubrow of Delicious Baby for creating and coordinating Photo Friday to link travel photos and blog posts across the Web.

Jessie-I'd forgotten about this springtime shot until I was looking through my photos to try to decide the topics for my next few blog posts.
This cat is in a nice little park right by the falls in downtown Chagrin Falls. Cute town and nice spot for taking photos.
Marina-Thanks! I'm glad I found this shot as it looks so nice and spring-like. Just the thing after a dreary winter!

This shot does have beautiful colors in it. While I'm not a cat person, I can appreciate that statue.

Carolina-I have to admit that I'm not a cat person, either...but I loved the statue backed by the bright yellow forsythia.
Amy-Thanks! The yellow makes it such a cheery photo, I think.

Agreed with all comments. I'm enjoying this photo, the colors, contrast, and even the look in the cat's eye. Thanks for sharing!
