Photogrammetry of Kuzminki park's Cheshire Cat statue in Russia reveals a unique image. The Cheshire Cat is a well-known fictional feline from Lewis Carroll's Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, famous for its distinctive mischievous smile. Although now often associated with Alice, the connection between a "Cheshire cat" and grinning predates Carroll's 1865 book. It has gone beyond literature to become an integral part of popular culture, appearing in various forms of media, including political cartoons, television shows, and cross-disciplinary studies from business to science. A defining characteristic of the Alice-style Cheshire Cat is its gradual disappearance over time, leaving behind only one final visible sign: its iconic smile.
