Solution
As we enter the park, we couldn’t see the cats which were part of the history and architect of this public space. Determined to celebrate their significance, we orchestrated 'The Peckcatism Ceremonial Festival.' We created a whole new religion, our ceremonies in this public space invite everyone to embrace and honor the charming cats within.
