These cast bronze cougar sculptures, one male and one female, were commissioned in 1993 and installed at The Plaza in 1995. The title "Cataract," was chosen to reference the cats, also being synonymous with 'cascade' and 'waterfall.' It could also suggest having a little blindness in the beginning of a relationship.

The Junior League of Spokane plaque, dated August 18, 1990 reads: This sculpture is dedicated to Spokane's children, as a reflection of the past, created in the present, to last into the future.
