Cats – The Big Ones

On By ResaIn Cats, Murals

For Cat Lovers (& all animal lovers).

I was in a area by the tracks, and not expecting to find anything.

There was an alley across from the front of the building with the word GEARY.

One garage was painted, with big cats.

  • Too cute for just 1 pic!

Talk about a thrilling find!

Yet another mural I was loathe to leave.

It looked new. A passerby told me it was a year old.

  • Hard to pick just 1 shot!

This lion breaks my heart.

What a sweet old soul the artist captured. Humans are not nice enough to animals.

Hmm, I think these may all be endangered cats?

I searched endangered cats and cats on the edge of extinction.

Seems almost every cat, except house cats, are on the list.

    1. Yes…Garfield.. Oddly, I used to see a lot more cartoons in the street art world, including lots of Garfields.
      Did magnetic Misty like these kinetic kitties? 😬

  5. Wow, what vibrant artwork! The artist has really captured the unique majesty and power of these amazing animals, and the colors are so very vibrant! That panther in the background is sleek and poised, ready to pounce at any moment. Thanks for sharing, Resa! 🐯💜🐅

  9. So gorgeous, these big cats come alive ! I love the Mama Cat and her babies. What a tremendous loss should these beautiful wild animals become extinct. The saying you can judge people by the way they treat animals is true. A wonderful find dear Meece.

    1. I agree, not just on the beauty of these cats, but on the idea that they would be gone.
      It wasn’t until I made this post that I realized – these are all endangered cats.

      It’s been nutty over here but I think I’m almost done Neil. I did some photo tests today. It was DARK! Honestly, this winter has been dreadful in many ways.
      I’m only out a couple of hours tomorrow, so will send you some test shots to Meece #1 before I dig into finishing it.

      Speaking of cats…How’s Bashira?

      1. Mr. b is quite the character. He rules the roost here, Max Keeps his distance when B is in a bad mood. He managed to escape the balcony ,I didn’t think he would try it but jumped over to the neighbors and I caught him wandering in the wrong direction, he saw me and turned around and was super glad to see me. He actually was lost ! Now he’s grounded from the balcony. He’s feel at heart but not as wild as he thinks.
        I know it’s a a little Crazy there. Don’t worry about Neil. You’ll get it done when you can

        1. Hahaha! Of course he rules. Poor Max.
          The escape of Mr. B.!
          I’m so happy you got him back.
          Egads! Misha caught a mouse last night. Norm said it was in her mouth, and looked dead. She played with that poor thing for quite awhile.
          NOW, we can’t find it.
          Uch!

          1. Eeww! They think catching a mouse is a present. Some of my outside neighbors cats leave me a mouse at my front door quite frequently. They are so proud of themselves. Sometime chewing them is so fun they forget it’s a present. 😂

  24. Hi Resa, I just love it when you show us how to enjoy a wildlife. But these cats are purrfect…..I had the honour of meeting some big cats in New Zealand and I got the same shivers seeing these pics as I did when I met Messi the lion cub at Paradise Springs Valley (park) in Rotorua. Well done Maruiska and thanks to both of you for sharing.
