The Cats of Los Gatos

The town of Los Gatos ("The Cats") got its name long before there was a town logo involving animals by that name.  Supposedly, they were originally created as distinct from the name of the town - not for the name of the town at all.

Officially endorsed, these two cats (Leo and Leona) date from less than a hundred years ago and the originals can be seen today, in their original location no less.

To learn more, please visit my blog, "Live in Los Gatos" and see this post on the cats of Los Gatos:
