‘CAT UP A TREE’ WINS MOST CLEVER AWARD

cat tree

Someone created this mini-masterpiece on a tree in Riverside park at 105th street. It’s pretty damn special, and thus wins our unofficial “most clever use of snow” award. Anonymous sculptor, come forth and reveal yourself!

Check out our full snow gallery, which now has more than 50 photos.

Photo by nycmaggie, who speculated that the anonymous sculptor may have been the person behind the gruesome “pumpkin giving birth” we wrote about last year. (Don’t click if you’re squeamish!)

I loved it to, and had photographed it as well and sent my photo to newspix.1. I spoke with the creator who is an artist. Her first name is Listra,(last name I think was maybe Calhon, or Calhan, perhaps.)
