Portugal the art

I was perusing through some of the work in the Portugal Bienniale 2010 and found this:

Aaron King: Cat Scratch for Stella, 2006

I love this sculpture, and I'm not alone.
I used to hate cats, really, I did. But at some point in my life I made peace with the feline species and have embraced their awkwardness, selfishness, egotistical and maniacal ways. I've come to believe that they're really out of this world.
