The monument symbolizes the devotion of animals to people, and the willingness to follow them. A bronze pedestal was installed on Prospekt Geroev-Severomortsev, near Semenovskoye Lake.This animal has its own legend, and no one knows if it was true or not. According to the stories of the Muromchan, Semyon is a Thai cat, which the family took with them to the capital during the holiday. On the way back home, the animal got out of the car and fled. The owners noticed the loss when they entered Murmansk. They were upset, but did not come back for him. Six years later, on the threshold of the apartment, they saw a missing cat. He was able to find the owners, having overcome the distance of 2000 km. Monument "Waiting"This sculpture is the pride of the inhabitants of Murmansk. The monument was built by joint efforts in 2012. The people of Murom gathered money for the construction of the sculpture. With this pedestal, they wanted to identify the connection of the city's inhabitants with the sea. For sailors, the monument "Waiting" symbolizes the devotion of wives, the love of mothers who are waiting for them from the voyage. The stela is set over the Kola Bay.
