Regal Kitty

A portion of a mural featuring the head of a black and while cat wearing a crown

Location: Saint Enoch Square, just west of Massey Hall
Date photo taken: 5 November 2013

Happy International Cat Day! This regal kitty is part of a mural painted in the laneway running midway between Yonge and Victoria, adjacent to Massey Hall. In June 2011 the Downtown Yonge BIA published its Public Realm Strategy which identified a number of projects that would improve appearance and usability of public spaces within the area, and increase traffic in underused areas. O'Keefe Lane and Saint Enoch Square, which run north and south from Shuter Street respectively, were one such project, and this mural was one of the results. The mural was a joint project by EGR and Elicser, and I believe this cat is the work of EGR.
