Cats, as we all know, have a pretty high opinion of themselves.
Our feline furbabies would have us adore them even more than the ancient Egyptians did if they had their way.
It’s no surprise, however, that this proud little cat was overjoyed to learn that someone had built a statue of him.
Cosmo’s excellence was finally acknowledged.
Cosmo’s mother, Jenny Salzer, had acquired the statue that had emerged unexpectedly on the stairwell in front of his house from Goodwill.
He’d been perusing the secondhand store when she came upon a statue of a black cat that looked suspiciously like her pet Cosmo.
Despite the fact that it was slightly worn and scraped, its strong resemblance to Cosmo was enough to persuade her to buy it, which she did.
She didn’t think much of it until she arrived home and placed the little doppelganger on the stairs going up to her house.
Cosmo is primarily an indoor cat, but he does like supervised outdoor fun on occasion.
Salzer let Cosmo out to play the day after she bought the statue, and it was there that he discovered the magnificent statue of himself.
Cosmo was captivated by the statue right away, sniffing it and running his hands all over it.
He now spends some time hanging out with his stony twin whenever he goes out to play.
Cosmo’s passion for the statue seems to grow greater with each passing day. He’s even started hugging it with his small paws wrapped around it.
It’s clear to say that this impulse purchase was a total home run, and Salzer and Cosmo couldn’t be happier with their decision.
