The WCU cat statue is being relocated to its new home near the Ramsey Regional Activity Center. The Catamount statue that long stood in the center of the roundabout is getting a new home on campus to make room for a new Catamount statue, one that reflects the competitive Catamount spirit through a fierce pose and a larger presence at nearly 10-feet tall.  “The current cat has been loved by students, alumni, faculty and staff for many years and we are thrilled that it will be going to a new home on campus,” said Melissa Wargo, WCU chief of staff. “We are asked frequently why there is no statue of our mascot near our athletics venues and why the statue is not located on a fully accessible site. The new location outside the Ramsey Center will remedy those issues and allow for new memories to be made while honoring our long-standing traditions.” www.wcu.edu/stories/posts/News/2023/07/wcu-adding-new-addition-to-the-catamount-family-this-fall.aspx |

Can’t wait to see it. Anybody have a picture of the prototype of this new work of art that can be posted. 10 feet tall. That’s impressive.
GO CATS!!!!

Does anyone have any idea what the new statue will look like and when it is going to be unveiled? Public announcement mentioned "this fall". Fall break, October 14th and 15th per WLs TV. Have no idea what it will look like. I figure some folks that read this board know but they are not sharing. I guess we will have to wait until they install and unveil it. Based on this time line. It should be in place by the Furman game, I think. |

I heard the eyes will mirror the cat eyes billboard coming to campus in the way they glow in the dark

I heard the eyes will mirror the cat eyes billboard coming to campus in the way they glow in the dark I hope so. That would be epic. |

Maybe the new one will be absolutely shredded like the panthers outside Bank of America Stadium 😂
