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.
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.
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.

The Artist:
























Nothing to beat a cat. My wife has the dog, yet to me it should have been a cat. Such is life. All the beast, TOF
Lol, yes, such is life, TOF!
All the beast back to you!
Gorgeous animals and art! I showed the last photo to my husband, and he said, “Wow!”
Thanks Merril! (like I painted it..BUT I found it)
It really is quite intriguing what artists will paint on a wall. YAY!
Your hubs is right. This is Wow!
This “big cat” art is fabulous, Resa! What an amazing find! Garfield the cartoon feline has met his match with these kinetic kitties. 🙂
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? 😬
Hmm, that emoji is supposed to be a cringe, but it looks more like it needs a dentist.
LOL, Resa! 😂 Hopefully emojis have dental insurance. 🙂 Misty likes those big cats a LOT, and also always admires awesome alliteration. 🙂
How wonderful! Misty is alliterate. 😼🤭
Ha ha! 😂 😂
wilderness in the concrete jungle here…
Yes, you are right. I love it.
Thank you for checking out the art!
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! 🐯💜🐅
I agree, Ada!
I basked in this mural for a long while. What a great artist!
It’s my joy to share art.
I’m so happy you visit here.

This mural is so stunning, and so beautiful! ❤️ I can hear those impressive big cats roar and purr…
Have a fine week, dear Resa, and stay safe!
Thank you for checking out this wonderful art, Martha! 💓💓
I’m thrilled you like it. You have a fine week, too! (Watch out for icy streets!)
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.
xoxoxoxoxoxo
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?
xoxoxoxoxo
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
xoxoxoxoxo
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!
xoxoxoxoxo
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. 😂
Damn! Those alley cats’s is HUge!😸
YES! I luv them!
Hey, your movie was terrific. I hope you got the message I left.
I’ll pop by to see. xx
I did, was savoring it☺️🙏
Thank you!! ❦🕊 ~ ❤︎🌟❤︎ ~ 🕊❦
Ah.. I just checked. Maybe you didn’t see my comment?
You know it’s my fav comments I take the longest to respond to🤗🤍🖤
…I’m honoured…
I normally don;’t say anything if I don’t get a reply, but you put so much into it, and i was so impressed that I wanted to make sure you knew how fab it is and you are!
~ ❤︎🌟❤︎ ~
I don’t get much feedback so this is very good of you and much appreciated👍🙌🖤🌟🤍
You deserve professional feedback. I know comments aren’t like a real life chat, but that’s what we have out here.
👍❤︎🕊❦👍
These cats look stunning and realistic! They appear lively and alert, but the garage door makes it seem like they’re behind bars!
Well captured, Resa! 👍🥰
Simply amazing!
What a fantabulous find! This is just gorgeous from top to bottom, side to side. Beauty.
xoxoxoxoxo
Fantastic. Just love it. Beautiful artwork, Resa. This is just wonderful.
Beautiful mural and cats. Hear me roar! 😄
Beautiful photos, Resa. It is sad that the big cats of the world are endangered. A wonderful artist. Thanks for sharing. 🐂
You are welcome dear John!
Yes, a wonderful artist and it is sad about endangerment.
Maybe you’ll find something good for Fri-yay! 😺X
Usually do. 😁X
Stunning Resa.
Thank you for sharing 💖🤗
Gorgeous beasts. The artist did a great job of capturing them. xo
Oh, I love this, Resa, and I ain’t lion! 🙂
I’m not really a pussycat person, but there’s something you can’t ignore about big cats. Compelling! I like that the panther’s head is painted over a hinge xx
Very nice!
Oh my goodness, these are amazing Resa. What a share. Thank you xxxxxx
That mural is absolutely stunning! The colors!!
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.
Resa – what a nice find for you. These big cats are beautiful and yes, it is difficult to believe it is not a brand-new paint job, but already a year old.
I love the personalities of the artist’s cats. That old lion still on the lookout. The black panther on the prowl. The kittens looking like they know that they know. Thanks for the close-ups, Resa. Great find!
Big cats symbolize strength and beauty. It must be an artist’s dream to paint their athletic, colorful bodies.
