Its note

Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 503.6 Hz, 66 cents flat of C5, the nearest tine on the comb. The next fifteen are its overtones, and each one draws its own figure: sand gathers on the lines that stay still.

How to play

Tap it to make it look around and mew.

About it

A concrete statue of a sitting cat, wearing a red collar with a little bell. Cats have lived alongside people for about 10,000 years, since farmers first stored grain and cats came to hunt the mice it drew. People have made statues of cats for thousands of years; in ancient Egypt, cats were loved and honored.

Tap it and the cat comes to life: its head turns right around to look at you, tilts one way as it mews and then the other way, and turns back. Its tail stays still.
