Cat

Detail from a colourful cat and mouse mural on Hickson St, Toronto

Location: Hickson Street, near Brock & Dundas
Date photo taken: 8 October 2015
Image 19 in the Mural Series

This cat makes up the better part of a large mural on the south side of the Elite Plumbing & Heating Supplies building at the corner of Dundas and Brock. What I've elected to crop out of the image is the rat on which this fellow is so focused, in part because it's rendered in much more mundane colours, and in part because even though it's a rat, you can't help but feel a little bad about what's coming. The piece isn't signed and I'm still searching for the name of the artist - if you know, please leave a comment.

UPDATE: Thanks to Jenny Finkelshtain, one of the building owners, for providing the missing information. The mural was done in September 2015 by Toronto artists Ratbath and Jonny Cakes.
