About this Blog

Herding Bronze Cats is dedicated to exploring the memorials and monuments that have been created to remember animals around the world. I always prefer to visit these sites myself and include my own photos, but my time is limited and I can't always afford to get to all the sites I'd like to. I've decided to post about sites that are relevant to a holiday or current events, even when I can't travel there. I'll use photos from others, especially when these sites are outside of the area that I can easily travel to. This allows me the chance to post even when I can't get out of town.
I like to include links and sources even though it isn't standard procedure in a blog. Deal with it.

About the Sites

When I chose sites to discuss on the blog (or include on the list) I try to find publicly accessible, physical sites dedicated to real, individual animals. I also try to chose sites that are primarily focused on the animals, and don't put the emphasis on people, but some sites may include a famous human along with their beloved companion. If you know of sites that fit into these parameters, especially if I don't have them on the list please let me know here.

About the Author

This page is written by Keith Outcelt, a Denver-based museum professional and tour guide. I got interested in these memorials while I was in graduate school and I was looking into how humans and animals have interacted through history. I realized that there are a lot of memorials to animals in Colorado, right near me and I started to visit them. When I looked into it further I was distressed to find that there wasn't a list of these sites, so I decided to make my own.
I'm also pretty interested in the history of technology, food in history and street art in the Denver area.

Samson; Estes Park, CO, USA

Samson's memorial in Estes Park stands as a reminder of the massive elk and as a warning to poachers. Author's Collection My most recent outing brought me to Estes Park, Colorado (I’ll be running out of memorials in my home state soon though).  Estes is a small mountain community on the edge of Rocky Mountain National Park. The community may be most famous as the home of the Stanley Hotel (from the movie version of Stephen King's The  Shining ). Because of its proximity to the National Park it’s pretty common to see deer and their larger cousins, elk wandering through town.  The best known of these elk was Samson. He attained celebrity status thanks to his size and demeanor. The 1000+ lb. gentle giant roamed the streets and wild areas of town amusing visitors and locals alike. His antlers sported seven points on one side and nine on the other, making him easily recognizable And because he lived on a campground property he met a lot of visitors. Samson is so

Zelda Wisdom; Portland, OR, USA

Zelda sits in front of the Heathman a hotel famous for its treatment of pets. Photo: Zelda Wisdom Facebook Page Happy National Dress Up Your Pet Day. Yes, that's an actual day in the United States!  I'll be using it as an excuse to talk about the statue of Zelda Wisdom in Portland. If you don’t know Zelda by name you’ll probably recognize her face. Zelda is a bulldog celebrity. Really, she’s a model, famous for her work in greeting cards and calendars, and her manager/publicist/writer is Carol Gardner. It makes the most sense to talk about Carol before we get to Zelda and her statue. Carol Gardner was an advertising executive, who went through a tough divorce at 52 and her lawyer joked that she should either get a therapist or get a dog. She chose the latter and brought Zelda, a four-month-old English bulldog into her home. Zelda proved her worth immediately by improving Carol’s mood, but her appetite was huge. When Carol heard about a contest at a local pet store givi

Tombili - Istanbul, Turkey

Tombili's statue and plaque in Istanbul. Huriyet Daily News Photo The original photo that attracted attention on Buzzfeed.  Tombili was a fat cat whose carefree and laid back countenance made her much beloved in her Istanbul neighborhood, Güleç Street in Kadıköy. Her name reflected her attitude, Tombili is a common nickname for an overweight pet; to my understanding the best English translation might be something like pot-belly. She often ignored those who wanted to play with her in favor of lounging on step. In 2012 a tourist snapped a photo of Tombilli and posted it on social media. The oldest link I could find is this Buzzfeed post . Tombili became an international sensation thanks to another post on 9gag, and photoshoping contest based on the  photo, The lounging cat charmed viewers around the world. The internet generated memes from the photo and Tombili's moment of fame was extended until she passed away. Here are some of my favorites, More can be found on Know
