DENVER — A nine-foot-tall cat that greets visitors to Colorado State University's (CSU) Spur campus in Denver is getting a name.
The public is invited to help select a name for the CSU Spur kitten, with voting happening online and in-person through Friday, Aug. 26.
The unofficial mascot of CSU Spur, the white cat welcomes visitors inside the Vida building at the National Western Center campus.
When visitors walk up the cat's face, it purrs or meows, but if you walk up behind the kitten, it will hiss or growl to communicate that it isn’t the best way to greet an animal.
