Cat on Patrol with Stogie Alerts

Cat sculptures go up in Catskill, NY and are auctioned after Labor Day in September to raise funds for the town. Cat on patrol (sculpture) in town, with a stogie and whiskey waiting to be enjoyed at the end of its shift, alerts passers-by via signage, especially dog owners, to clean up after their pets. "I don’t want to step in “No” poop," the cat growls. The town truck that collects waste is parked behind it.
