Wampus Cat

This Wampus Cat is installed at the football field of Conway High School where he is the school's mascot. This mythological beast has six legs: four to run with and two to fight with.

Wampus Cat

This bronze Wampus Cat is also located at Conway High School. It was built by Raymond Gibby and installed in 2013. [map]

Wampus Cat
Itasca, TX
This Wampus Cat statue was installed at an Exxon station. This version of Wampus Cat has only two arms. The Wampus Cat is the local high school's mascot. It seems to be just a coincidence that the statue bears a resemblance to the standing tigers associated with Esso (later Exxon) gas stations. Esso's tigers were fiberglass while this statue is plaster over wire mesh. In 2009, this statue was hit by a car and badly damaged. It is now in a city storage yard. These photos are from 2011. It is not known if the statue will be repaired or destroyed. For more, see this website.
