Tombili Cat Statue

1. Introduction of Tombili Cat Statue

Tombili is a famous street cat living in Istanbul, Turkey. He has become popular on the Internet for his lazy sitting posture and is loved by local residents and tourists. Tombili’s name comes from Turkish, which means “chubby”. Just like his appearance, chubby Tombili always appears on the street in a leisurely and comfortable posture. His classic photos show him leaning against the edge of the road, resting like a relaxed philosopher. After Tombili’s death, local residents erected a Tombili Cat Statue for him in his usual place to commemorate this lovely cat.

This Tombili Cat Statue faithfully reproduces Tombili’s classic posture: the cat lazily leans on the stone steps, one front paw casually resting on his knees, and the other paw gently hanging down, with a peaceful and calm expression. The Famous Cat Statue is made of bronze, which has been oxidized to present a dark bronze tone, highlighting the texture and heaviness. The details of Tombili’s statue are very realistic, especially the texture of the hair and the indifferent and relaxed expression, which makes people feel as if they can see Tombili, who was once alive, leisurely looking at everything around him.
