Beware the limping cat

Not many people know that before Antony Gormley acquired a reputation as "the artist who makes casts of himself out of iron or lead", when he was still poor and unknown, metal was too expensive and he could only afford to hand-carve wooden shells for his Siamese cat, Doodle.

This also saved money when he needed to take the cat to the vet.

UPDATE: Bonus Gormley sculpture.

Not at all centipedal.
